Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved. same_term A for effort

Scanlon introduced H.R. 10103, the Stable Homes Act, in the 119th Congress, and the bill closely matches the promised competitive HUD grant program for local eviction diversion services. The cited records show introduction and committee referral, not enactment, appropriation, or implementation of the grant program. Because she is still in federal office and the effort appears pending rather than definitively failed, the promise is not delivered yet but remains unresolved; the legislative effort merits an effort badge.
