Plain-English Summary

The federal government would stop providing Community Development Block Grants and mortgage support to cities and towns that permit squatting (occupying abandoned properties without permission). This would affect local governments, homeowners, and people trying to get mortgages in areas where squatting is allowed. The bill aims to discourage municipalities from tolerating unauthorized occupation of properties by cutting off federal housing and development funding.
