H.R. 3154 would  clarify that noncitizens in deferred action status under the Deferred Action

incorporates the assumption that the Administration's proposed policy will be implemented
by October 1, 2021. If that occurs, deferred-action status under DACA will be revoked,

subject to appropriation over the 2019-2024 period. Although more borrowers might seek an
FHA  guaranteed mortgage under the bill, those applicants would continue to face the
financial risk of the pending termination of DACA and their right to work legally in the
