Goldman and Velázquez introduced the Public Housing Emergency Response Act, which would allocate $70 billion in funding for public housing capital repairs and upgrades throughout the country, with $32 billion expected to flow directly to NYCHA.

Goldman did take concrete legislative action on public housing investment and NYCHA repair funding, showing effort toward the promise even though the bill was only introduced.

Congress.gov shows H.R.235 was introduced in the House on 01/06/2021 and its latest action was referral to the House Committee on Financial Services; the bill status is Introduced.

The related public-housing bill advanced no further than introduction and committee referral, so the action did not become enacted policy.

The House party breakdown shows 217 Republicans, 213 Democrats, 1 Independent, and 4 vacancies, with the page last updated 4/15/26. Republicans still hold the majority, so Democrats had not retaken the House in the lookback window.

Official House data still shows Republican control of the chamber, so the condition attached to the promise remains unmet.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

The promise was explicitly conditioned on Democrats taking back the House, which did not occur during the relevant period; Republicans retained House control. Goldman did make a concrete legislative effort by introducing public housing/NYCHA investment legislation that would have directed substantial funding to NYCHA, but the bill did not become law and the promised investment/redevelopment outcome was not delivered. Because there was a serious legislative attempt without delivery, this is best scored as never with an effort badge.

never same_term A for effort

The promise was conditional on Democrats retaking the House, which had not occurred as of the cited April 22, 2026 House party breakdown. Goldman did make a concrete legislative effort by introducing public-housing repair legislation aimed at major NYCHA investment, but the cited bill did not advance beyond introduction/committee referral and did not deliver the promised investment or redevelopment outcome. Under the rules, a serious attempt without delivery is classified as never with an effort badge.
