I will continue to continue to advocate across the aisle to find solutions that address homelessness and ensure all Americans have access to affordable housing.
Continue advocating across the aisle for solutions that address homelessness and expand access to affordable housing.
Occurrences
Evidence
The official housing issue page says Ivey is a member of the Caucus on Homelessness, that he joined the 2024 Affordable Housing Conference of Montgomery County, co-hosted a Foreclosure & Eviction Prevention Workshop in 2023, and that he will continue to advocate across the aisle to find solutions that address homelessness and expand access to affordable housing.
Maryland Democrats including Glenn Ivey announced $35,046,616 in HUD funding for 17 Maryland housing authorities to renovate, improve, and build public housing throughout the state. The release says the lawmakers were committed to finding solutions and increasing affordable options to address the housing crisis.
Ivey said he voted to finalize $11,681,279 in community project funding for Maryland's 4th District, including $500,000 for Incentivizing Accessibility in Housing Rehabilitation and Development Projects. The release also notes the bipartisan funding package and his work with colleagues in the Maryland delegation.
Assessments
Ivey has continued visible advocacy and some concrete housing-related action during the same term, including membership in the Caucus on Homelessness, participation in housing events, eviction/foreclosure prevention work, support for HUD public housing funding, and a bipartisan appropriations package containing housing accessibility funding. However, the evidence mostly shows advocacy and funding participation rather than a clearly delivered cross-party policy solution that substantively addressed homelessness and expanded affordable housing access. The promise is therefore best rated as partially fulfilled, with an effort badge for documented official action.
