An Act ensuring fair housing for homeless families
This bill amends an existing emergency housing assistance program by adding a requirement that applicants must be U.S. citizens. It directly affects homeless families residing in the Commonwealth who are not U.S. citizens, restricting their access to this program. The key provision changes the program's eligibility rules to exclude non-citizens, overriding any conflicting laws or regulations. The bill does not create new housing but modifies who can receive existing emergency housing aid.
