Evidence
The House issues page says Representative Maxine Dexter believes that "safe, abundant, affordable housing is the bedrock of healthy, thriving communities."
Dexter said she secured $1,092,000 for Sandy to build a new wastewater pipeline that would "allow for new housing and economic development," and that all 15 of her Community Project Funding requests were accepted into the proposed House appropriations bills.
Dexter introduced the Every Veteran Housed Act, which she said would expand access to resources for veterans experiencing homelessness and remove barriers in VA homelessness programs.
Assessments
Dexter took housing-related actions in the same term, including introducing the Every Veteran Housed Act and advancing community project funding for infrastructure that could enable new housing. However, the promised outcome was broader and specific: invest in new affordable housing development and expand LIHTC, HOME, and the National Housing Trust Fund. The evidence does not show enactment or successful expansion of those federal housing programs, nor a delivered new affordable housing development investment at the promised scale. Because there was a serious legislative/executive attempt but the promised outcome was not delivered, the outcome is never with effort recognized.
