What this bill would do
The "Housing Stability for Dreamers Act" seeks to amend the National Housing Act and title 38 of the United States Code. The bill focuses on establishing eligibility for DACA recipients regarding various housing programs and mortgages. It prohibits certain mortgage insurance limitations and purchase conditions based on DACA status for FHA, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac. It also addresses the Rural Housing Service to ensure eligibility is not limited by such status. Additionally, the bill modifies the Housing and Community Development Act of 1980. Finally, it clarifies that a veteran's status as a DACA recipient does not affect their entitlement to housing loan benefits.
