Representative Andrea Salinas | ... Latest News Rep. Andrea Salinas’ Statement on Her Vote for Bipartisan Bill to Lower Housing Costs and Expand Homeownership Opportunities May 20, 2026 ... Today, Congresswoman Andrea Salinas (OR-06) released the following statement on her vote in support of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act.
This program would fund pilot programs that demonstrate the use of innovative wood products in the construction and renovation of rural infrastructure and building projects, like affordable housing.
Evidence
“At the federal level, I will continue to prioritize affordable housing initiatives through Community Project Funding requests and fight back against attempts to cut critical programs like the HOME Investment Partnerships Program. Furthermore, I will continue to advocate for common sense legislation like the Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act, which would help finance the construction of over 2 million affordable housing units across the country.”
Short title: Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act of 2023. Actions overview: Introduced in House on 05/11/2023. Identical bill S.1557 had hearings held on 04/16/2024 in the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Subcommittee on Housing, Transportation, and Community Development.
The 119th Congress bill text for H.R. 2725 is titled the Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act of 2025 and includes provisions increasing housing credit allocations, private activity bond capacity, and other reforms aimed at expanding affordable housing supply.
“Salinas urged her colleagues to include her full legislation and to do more to boost the development of innovative wood product technologies, such as mass timber construction, which not only supports Oregon’s critical timber industry, but also addresses the housing crisis.”
This April 9, 2026 press release is about quantum research legislation, not housing.
Assessments
The promise was to support legislation that would pave the way for building two million affordable homes. The evidence shows Salinas did support and advocate for the Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act, explicitly tying it to financing more than 2 million affordable housing units, and related housing-supply measures. However, the record provided shows introduction, advocacy, and some congressional movement, not enactment or a completed outcome. Because she clearly took meaningful legislative action in support of the promised policy but there is no evidence the measure became law or fully delivered the pledged result, the best judgment is partial fulfillment in the same term.
