Baldwin's Senate office says she voted to pass the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which included reforming and reauthorizing HOME, authorizing CDBG-DR, creating new funding streams for HUD-certified housing counseling, allowing CDBG funds for new affordable housing, and authorizing grants for regional planning and implementation tied to affordable housing.
Assessments
The promised federal housing program updates match the enacted 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act: HOME reform/reauthorization, CDBG-DR authorization, CDBG use for affordable housing, regional planning grants, and HUD-certified housing counseling funding streams. Baldwin was a sitting U.S. senator from Wisconsin when she voted for the package, and it became Public Law 119-101 on July 11, 2026, during her current Senate term. Federal campaign and office context supports giving her candidate credit through her Senate vote on the enacted legislation.
