Marshall said the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act would cut federal regulations and encourage communities to make local housing regulations more efficient.

Within the lookback window, Marshall publicly tied the pending ROAD to Housing Act to the exact commitment: encouraging local communities to streamline housing regulations. This is concrete advocacy and claimed ownership, but not final implementation by itself.

Marshall's official press-release index listed a June 23, 2026 item titled "Senator Marshall Applauds Senate Passage of ROAD to Housing Act."

Marshall's office recorded that he applauded Senate passage of the housing package during the lookback window, supporting a finding of serious concrete effort rather than abandonment.

The bill text identifies state and local regulatory barriers, calls for HUD zoning best-practice guidance, and includes grants for local housing-supply reforms.

The ROAD to Housing Act contains mechanisms directly aligned with the promise: local zoning frameworks, model reforms, reduced parking and lot-size barriers, streamlined local review, and incentives for communities that expand supply.

Congress.gov shows H.R.6644 passed the House 390-9 and summarizes grants for planning and community development activities, but not enacted on that page.

The companion House housing package had advanced one chamber and included local planning/community-development support, but Congress.gov did not show enactment, so this supports partial progress rather than completed delivery.

The Senate passed the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act 85-5; reporting described streamlined construction and permitting provisions, then House consideration.

Strong reporting confirms lookback-window Senate passage of a bipartisan housing bill designed to cut red tape and ease construction. This is substantial progress, but the article placed the bill before the House, not enacted.

Reporting said H.R.6644 was on the president's desk and could become law without signature, but Trump had not signed it as of June 30.

As of late in the lookback window, the broader housing bill was very near completion but still awaiting presidential action. That leaves the commitment partially delivered, not conclusively enacted as of the available evidence.
