Senate Bills

Creates a five-year HUD-Defense competitive grant program for affordable workforce housing near military bases and major job centers, prioritizing high-cost communities with local matching funds. Recipients must preserve affordability, report results, and follow fair-housing and labor laws.

The bill standardizes federal coordination with state and local immigration enforcement while requiring legal information, medical screening, transfer records, timely case reviews, and congressional reporting. It also funds jurisdictions that complete approved coordination and accountability programs.

The bill reimburses eligible rural states for audited immigration-related costs while funding more border personnel, biometric checks, faster asylum screening, and removal of people legally ineligible for relief.

Expands tax credits and HUD grants to build and preserve affordable rental housing for at least 30 years. It also limits hidden mandatory fees, protects tenants from retaliation, and requires notice and an opportunity to cure before eviction in federally assisted housing while preserving state and local authority.

Requires nationwide federal employment verification for new hires, penalizes employers who knowingly hire unauthorized workers or exploit immigration status, and protects workers facing errors, retaliation, or wage theft.

Establishes HUD grants, coordinated with USDA, to help tribes and rural communities build, rehabilitate, and preserve affordable, energy-efficient housing while respecting tribal self-determination and prioritizing local labor.

Requires separate written consent before employers transfer worker-attributable material for AI development, prohibits retaliation for refusal, and authorizes FTC penalties and private lawsuits for violations.

Establishes federal grants for immigration coordination, training, secure information-sharing, and language access while requiring due-process protections, public reporting, and safeguards against racial profiling. Enforcement would prioritize noncitizens convicted of serious violent offenses, and local participation would remain voluntary.

The bill creates competitive HUD grants for high-cost communities to build and preserve workforce housing, expands project-based rental assistance, and requires long-term affordability and reporting on housing and tenant stability.

Expands HUD grants for affordable rental housing, tenant legal aid, eviction prevention, and anti-displacement programs while barring source-of-income discrimination in federally funded housing.
