Evidence

WASHINGTON, DC – Rep. Erin Houchin (IN-09) and Rep. Judy Chu (CA-28) re-introduced the Increasing Access to Foster Care Through Age 21 Act, which would provide an incentive for all states to extend services for foster youth through age 21.

Houchin publicly reintroduced the foster-care-through-age-21 bill as a co-lead, matching the campaign promise to work on legislation that extends support to age 21 and permits re-entry if needed. This is evidence of concrete legislative action, but not enactment.

never same_term A for effort

Houchin appears to have made a serious same-term effort on the specific promise by co-leading and reintroducing the Increasing Access to Foster Care Through Age 21 Act, which aligns with the promised policy design of incentivizing states to extend care to age 21 and allowing re-entry. But the provided evidence shows legislative action, not enactment or implementation of the promised outcome. Under the stated rule, a substantial legislative attempt that does not actually deliver the policy counts as not fulfilled, with effort credit.
