She is a champion for building more housing - especially affordable housing and housing for families - and developing the social safety net needed to end displacement and homelessness.

Occurrences
the resolution also serves as a comprehensive roadmap outlining the policies members of Congress must commit to, including affordable housing
We know that stable housing, affordable rent, and accessible homeownership opportunities are part of the American dream.
I'm proud to introduce H. Res 1198 because every member of Congress should recognize that stable housing is a fundamental human right. Every family deserves to stay whole and housed.
The funding of these 15 transformative projects is what happens when communities, local leaders, and Congress work together to deliver. As a result of our collaboration, $14.25 million will now be available to expand affordable housing, enhance our infrastructure, develop our workforce, and more.
Evidence
Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez led 27 members of Congress to introduce H. Res 1198, a resolution recognizing that stable housing keeps families together. The resolution responds to the Trump Administration's proposed HUD rule on verification of eligible status and calls on HUD to withdraw the rule and follow section 214 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1980.
GovInfo lists H. Res. 1198 as introduced in the House, sponsored by Delia C. Ramirez, with the full title 'Recognizing that stable housing keeps families together.'
Assessments
Ramirez has materially championed the issue through a same-term housing-focused resolution and congressional advocacy, including H. Res. 1198 on stable housing and families. However, the cited record shows introduction of a nonbinding resolution and calls for HUD action, not enacted federal housing production, expanded affordable housing, strengthened safety-net benefits, or a completed anti-displacement/homelessness outcome. Because this is a serious legislative advocacy effort but does not deliver the promised policy result, the appropriate rating is never with an effort badge.
