Blocks federal housing grants and mortgage help for cities that allow squatting.
This bill would stop federal housing money and mortgage support from going to cities and towns that allow squatting. This means local governments could lose funds for community projects, and people in those areas might find it harder to get certain home loans. It aims to encourage local governments to change their laws regarding squatting.
Today, there are no federal rules that stop cities and towns from getting federal housing grants or mortgage support based on their local laws about squatting. If this bill becomes law, local governments that allow squatting (defined as 10 or more consecutive days without permission for grants, or 14 or more consecutive days for mortgages) would lose federal housing grants. Also, people in those areas would no longer be able to get federal mortgage support for their homes.
