Enumerated Infrastructure and Housing Assistance Act of 2027

This Act appropriates funds for fiscal year 2027 to the Department of Transportation and the Department of Housing and Urban Development, strictly limited to activities within Congress's enumerated powers under Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. Section 1: Transportation Infrastructure. Funds are provided solely for projects on interstate highways, bridges on interstate routes, and navigable waterways that directly affect interstate commerce. No funds may be used for intrastate roads or local transit systems unless they are part of a federally designated interstate corridor. All grants must be distributed by formula based on interstate commerce volume, not state-level policy compliance. Section 2: Housing Assistance. Funds are limited to housing for federal employees, military personnel, and Native American tribes on federal lands or reservations, as authorized under the Property Clause (Article IV, Section 3, Clause 2) and the Indian Commerce Clause (Article I, Section 8, Clause 3). No funds may condition state receipt on adoption of zoning or rent control policies. States may opt out without penalty. Section 3: Oversight and Sunset. The Government Accountability Office shall audit all expenditures annually for constitutional compliance. This Act sunsets after five years. Any state that accepts funds must certify in writing that the funds will be used only for the enumerated purposes specified herein. Section 4: Enforcement. The Attorney General may bring suit to enjoin any expenditure that violates this Act. Private citizens have standing to challenge expenditures in federal court under the Fifth Amendment's Due Process Clause if their state is coerced into accepting funds.
