Latest action (2 Sep 2026): Referred to the House Committee on Financial Services.
What this bill does
The No HUD Funding for Sanctuary Cities Act would make "sanctuary jurisdictions" ineligible for any grant funds administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for use within those jurisdictions. A "sanctuary jurisdiction" is defined as a state or local government that has a law, policy, or practice restricting officials from sharing immigration or citizenship status information with other government entities, or from complying with lawful federal detainer requests or release notifications under specified sections of immigration law. HUD would work with the Department of Homeland Security to identify which jurisdictions meet this definition. The restriction would take effect for grant funds distributed 180 days after enactment.
The bill primarily affects state and local governments—cities, counties, and states—that have adopted sanctuary-type policies, as well as residents and organizations that rely on HUD grant programs, such as housing assistance or community development funding, in those areas. It does not name specific jurisdictions or programs but applies broadly to any HUD grant funds intended for use in a jurisdiction meeting the sanctuary definition.
The bill was introduced on September 2, 2026, by Rep. Troy Downing (R-MT) along with several cosponsors, and has been referred to the House Committee on Financial Services. As an introduced bill, it has not yet been considered in committee, and would need to pass the House, the Senate, and be signed by the President before becoming law.
