Exclusive: Rep. Chip Roy Introduces Bill to Ban HUD Grants to Sanctuary Cities

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) is introducing legislation that will prohibit the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) from issuing certain grants to cities and states that provide housing assistance to illegal aliens or those with sanctuary policies on the books.

Roy’s “No Housing Welfare for Illegal Aliens Act,” shared exclusively with Breitbart News, would ban HUD from giving grants under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program and the Home Program to jurisdictions that use taxpayer dollars to provide housing assistance to illegal aliens.

“For too long, hardworking Americans have been forced to watch their tax dollars bankroll benefits for individuals who broke our laws to enter this country,” Roy told Breitbart News.

Likewise, sanctuary cities, counties, and states would be barred from receiving such grants.

The bill similarly prevents such jurisdictions from dispersing grant funds to third-party entities that offer housing assistance to illegal aliens, a move
