I’m working on legislation to convert unused buildings into affordable housing
Work on legislation to convert unused buildings into affordable housing.
Occurrences
Evidence
The legislation models Oregon’s successful Project Turnkey Program to provide flexible housing assistance that can quickly convert unused buildings into affordable housing and emergency shelters... "I introduced this legislation to expand the program so it can benefit even more people in Oregon and across the country."
Sponsor: Rep. Bonamici, Suzanne [D-OR-1] (Introduced 07/17/2025) ... Latest Action: House - 07/17/2025 Referred to the House Committee on Financial Services.
My view: Project Turnkey, transforming lives and vacant buildings ... "I introduced the Project Turnkey Act to create a federal Project Turnkey program at the Department of Housing and Urban Development."
Assessments
The promise was to work on legislation, not necessarily to secure enactment. Evidence shows Bonamici introduced and advocated for Project Turnkey-related federal legislation intended to convert unused buildings into affordable housing and emergency shelters, including action in 2024 and a 2025 bill referred to committee. Because the promised action was legislative work and that occurred, the promise is best classified as delivered in the same term, even though the legislation does not appear to have become law.
