HR 5340 would prohibit HUD from sharing personal information stored in its systems with immigration enforcement agencies such as ICE or CBP. Exceptions apply only when the person whose record is involved personally requests or gives written permission for that sharing. Within 90 days of enactment, HUD would be required to report to Congress on its compliance plan, data security, and any past sharing with immigration authorities.
The bill directly affects immigrants living in or applying for federally assisted housing, including public housing tenants and housing voucher recipients. HUD and local public housing authorities would also be affected, as neither could be compelled to cooperate with immigration enforcement data requests.
Local public housing agencies would be shielded from federal pressure to turn over resident records to immigration enforcement. The bill does not alter eligibility rules for housing assistance programs; it addresses only the sharing of personal data for immigration enforcement purposes.
