In Congress, Hakeem is fighting hard to build and protect apartments and homes in our neighborhoods that existing residents can actually afford.
Work to build and protect apartments and homes in local neighborhoods that existing residents can actually afford.
Occurrences
Evidence
Secured $1,850,000 in federal community project funding for the reconstruction of Brooklyn’s Broadway Corridor.
The cost of groceries is out of control, gas is out of control, goods are out of control, housing prices are out of control.
Jeffries joined House and Senate Democrats opposing a Republican budget that does nothing to make life better for hardworking taxpayers.
Assessments
Jeffries showed same-term effort related to neighborhood affordability and livability by securing $1.85 million in federal community project funding for Brooklyn's Broadway Corridor, and he continued public advocacy around housing costs. However, the cited evidence does not show that affordable apartments or homes were actually built, protected, preserved, or made available to existing residents. The infrastructure funding is adjacent to housing stability rather than direct fulfillment of the promised housing outcome, so partial credit is appropriate.
