H.R. 10225: No Federal Taxpayer-Funded Housing for Illegal Aliens Act of 2026

This bill would bar federal money from being used to provide covered housing assistance to people who are unlawfully present in the United States.

What counts as covered housing assistance

The bill defines this term broadly. It includes federal money used for:

• rental assistance, including security deposits, first month’s rent, back rent, application fees, and other rental-related costs
• housing vouchers
• mortgage assistance
• utility assistance tied to housing
• hotel or motel stays
• emergency, temporary, transitional, or permanent housing
• housing support services such as housing searches, placement, relocation, eviction prevention, landlord mediation, housing retention, counseling, and case management
• administrative or indirect costs connected to those services

What agencies would have to do

Federal agencies would be required to take steps to enforce the ban. The bill says they may do this by:

• requiring funding recipients to certify that their use of federal funds complies with the law
• monitoring compliance
• imposing civil penalties
• making recipients ineligible for federal funds for a period after a violation

Exceptions

The funding ban would not apply to:

• immigration law enforcement
• criminal law enforcement

In practical terms, the bill would require federally funded housing programs and related service providers to make sure federal dollars are not used to help people who are unlawfully present in the United States obtain or keep housing assistance covered by the bill.
