Build Homes, Not Hate Act of 2026
Latest action (30 Jul 2026): Introduced
What this bill does
H.R. 10010, the "Build Homes, Not Hate Act of 2026," would direct the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency to establish, within one year, a grant program for housing and homelessness assistance. It appropriates $70 billion for fiscal year 2027, available through September 30, 2032, with at least $54 billion for building, acquiring, rehabilitating, or converting housing units, at least $14 billion for direct homelessness services such as shelter, rental assistance, case management, and services for veterans, youth, and domestic violence survivors, and up to $2 billion for administration and oversight. The bill offsets this cost by permanently rescinding $70 billion in unobligated funds previously provided to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement under a prior law.
The program would be open to states, local and Tribal governments, territories, public housing agencies, and nonprofit organizations, which could receive grants covering up to 100 percent of project costs. Funds could not be used for immigration enforcement, detention, deportation, border wall construction, or related surveillance, and must supplement rather than replace existing housing funding. The bill would primarily benefit people experiencing or at risk of homelessness and communities with high housing costs or homelessness rates.
The bill was introduced on July 30, 2026, by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and referred to the House Committees on Transportation and Infrastructure and the Judiciary. It has not yet received committee action, and would need committee approval, House and Senate passage, and presidential signature to become law.
