would ban sanctuary jurisdictions from receiving federal housing grants and end housing benefits from going to illegal alien households
Chip Roy will cut off federal housing grants to sanctuary jurisdictions and end housing benefits for illegal alien households.
Occurrences
Evidence
House FloorCast lists Roy's H.R. 8941 in the 119th Congress as introduced on May 20, 2026 and referred the same day to the House Committee on Financial Services; the bill would bar HUD grants to sanctuary cities and stop prorated housing assistance for households with illegal-alien residents.
HUD ordered all Public Housing Authorities and owners in HUD-funded housing to verify every tenant's citizenship and immigration status, gave them 30 days to correct mismatches, and said HUD would recapture funding paid on behalf of ineligible tenants.
Assessments
Roy introduced H.R. 8941 in the 119th Congress to bar HUD grants to sanctuary jurisdictions and end prorated housing assistance for households with illegal-alien residents, but the bill had only been introduced and referred, not enacted. HUD separately took same-term enforcement action on citizenship verification and recovery of funds for ineligible tenants, which partially matches the housing-benefits portion, but there is no showing that Roy delivered the full two-part promise or that the sanctuary-jurisdiction grant cutoff became law or policy through his action.
