She champions community benefits agreements so that development projects focus on addressing community needs, sharing profits with the community and not just wealthy developers, and don’t lead to destabilization and displacement.

Occurrences
Evidence
The May 13, 2026 press release says Ramirez and national human rights leaders introduced a resolution and says the agenda includes affordable housing, climate resilience, and jobs and the economy, but it does not mention community benefits agreements or development-project profit-sharing/displacement protections.
The April 23, 2026 release says Ramirez led H. Res. 1198 to protect mixed-status families’ access to HUD housing assistance and to ask HUD to withdraw a proposed rule that would upend that policy; this is an anti-displacement housing action, not a community benefits agreement for a development project.
Assessments
The available evidence shows Ramirez has taken related housing and anti-displacement positions during her current federal term, including resolutions on HUD housing assistance and broader human-rights priorities. However, neither item shows that she championed community benefits agreements for development projects, profit-sharing with communities, or CBA-based displacement protections. Because she remains in active federal office and the record provided does not establish either delivery or a failed serious attempt on the specific promise, the promise is best treated as unresolved rather than never fulfilled.
