GovInfo lists H.R. 6644 as Public Law 119-101, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, with Date Approved July 11, 2026. Its legislative history records Senate concurrence on June 22, 2026 and House concurrence on June 23, 2026.

Cleaver's office said the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act became law at midnight without the President's signature, identified Cleaver among House introducers and Scott/Warren among Senate introducers, and said he worked for more than eighteen months with colleagues in both chambers and stakeholders.
Assessments
The cited evidence shows H.R. 6644, the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, became Public Law 119-101 on July 11, 2026, during Cleaver's same House term. Cleaver was identified as a House introducer, voted for the House package, and his office described more than eighteen months of bicameral work with Senate colleagues and stakeholders, so the promised legislative outcome was delivered with direct candidate credit.
Cleaver materially advanced the bipartisan housing legislation in the House during his current federal term, including voting for a House-passed amendment/package and participating in bicameral movement around the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act. However, the promise was to get the legislation across the finish line and deliver relief, and the supplied evidence shows the package still required Senate consideration or final enactment as of May 20, 2026. That supports partial credit for serious same-term legislative progress, not full delivery.
