Bill overview
This bill, the Preserving Qualified Housing Assistance Act of 2019, changes how the Department of Homeland Security verifies the immigration status of people receiving housing assistance. Currently, verification is only required if an applicant states they are not a U.S. citizen and are under 62. This bill expands the requirement to include all recipients of assisted housing benefits, ensuring that housing assistance is available to eligible U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents.
