The bill history shows H.R. 7024 included "improvements to the low-income housing tax credit," passed the House on January 31, 2024, and later failed to advance in the Senate. The Congressional Record entry states Title V was "MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING" and increased the low-income housing tax credit ceiling by 12.5% for 2023-2025.

Official congressional history documents concrete legislative action to expand affordable housing tax incentives, though it did not become final law in the 118th Congress.

The promise was to support tax incentives for affordable housing, not necessarily to secure final enactment. The evidence shows Neal repeatedly and concretely supported affordable-housing tax incentives, including introducing the Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act in 2017, publicly championing the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit, and backing House-passed legislation in 2024 that would expand LIHTC. Although H.R. 7024 did not become law, the promised action of support was fulfilled.
