Ross made a concrete federal funding request for Shaw University, a North Carolina HBCU, to support student housing.

The Fiscal Year 2027 Community Project Funding page lists the "Shaw University Off-Campus Student Housing Initiative" with "$2,000,000" requested, and also lists a request for St. Augustine's University, identified as a Historically Black University (HBCU), seeking "$490,000" for its Tuttle Public Health Center.

Ross's office publicly documented multiple FY2027 requests that would direct federal funds to North Carolina HBCUs and their students.

Assessments

delivered same_term

Ross promised to continue fighting for federal resources for North Carolina HBCUs and their students, not necessarily to guarantee enacted funding. During the same federal House term, her office documented FY2027 Community Project Funding requests for Shaw University student housing and St. Augustine's University public health facilities, both tied to North Carolina HBCUs and student-serving resources. The evidence shows concrete federal appropriations advocacy by Ross in office, which satisfies the action-oriented promise even though final enactment of the requested funds is not established.
