I’m also proud to be working alongside amazing partners like Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley on our Grandfamily Housing Act to make sure grandparents raising grandchildren have the support they need. These grandparents stepped up for their families, and we need to step up for them, too. That’s what the Grandfamily Village is all about, and I’ll keep fighting to get projects like this across the finish line.

Assessments
McGovern materially advanced the issue by introducing the Grandfamily Housing Act, but the verified evidence does not show the bill enacted or a grandfamily housing project completed. Project-owner evidence says construction is planned to begin in 2027 and describes the development as still proposed/assembling funding, so as of 2026-09-25 the promised outcome is not across the finish line. With no expired deadline, this remains unresolved rather than never.
