H R 6500 2/3 YEA-AND-NAY 1-Sep-2026 2:03 PM
Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The House Clerk records final House concurrence on H.R. 6500 shortly before the lookback window; Clark appears in the Yeas list on the same official roll-call page.

“to prevent the termination of rental assistance for families”
Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Public Law 119-103 included a housing-assistance provision aimed at preventing family rental-assistance terminations. Because the promise is broad affordability and this covers only one cost area, it supports partial delivery rather than full fulfillment.
