Congress.gov lists H.R. 3696, the Fair and Equal Housing Act of 2025, as introduced on June 3, 2025, referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary the same day, and still at the Introduced stage rather than passed by either chamber or enacted.
Assessments
Carter made concrete federal legislative efforts on fair/equal housing during his House service, including cosponsoring Fair and Equal Housing Act measures and a 2026 affordable housing council bill with fair-housing goals. But the direct fair-housing bills and related measures were only introduced or referred and were not enacted, so the promised outcome of creating equal and fair housing legislation was not delivered. The record supports serious effort, not fulfillment.
Carter promised to create equal and fair housing legislation. The evidence shows concrete federal legislative effort during his House service: he cosponsored H.R.4439, the Fair and Equal Housing Act of 2023, and H.Res.1078 supporting Fair Housing Act goals. However, both measures stalled after introduction/referral and did not become enacted law or otherwise deliver the promised legislative outcome. Because he made serious legislative attempts but the promised outcome was not delivered, this is best scored as never with an effort badge.
Carter made concrete legislative efforts related to equal and fair housing, including cosponsoring H.R.4439, the Fair and Equal Housing Act of 2023, and a 2022 fair-housing resolution. However, the cited measures did not become enacted law, so the promised outcome of creating equal and fair housing legislation was not delivered. Because there was a serious legislative attempt that failed to produce the promised result, this is classified as never with an effort badge.
