Fong Votes to Lower Housing Costs
Support legislation to lower housing costs by expanding housing supply and reducing unnecessary regulatory barriers.
Occurrences
"Building more houses, cutting red tape, empowering local and rural lenders, and modernizing outdated federal programs is exactly how we lower costs and make housing more affordable. This bipartisan bill delivers real, commonsense solutions for working families, and I was proud to support it."
Evidence
The bill’s official title is “Identifying Regulatory Barriers to Housing Supply Act.” Congress.gov shows H.R. 4659 was introduced in the House on 07/23/2025 and referred to the House Committee on Financial Services; the bill status remains “Introduced.” The bill’s subject is Housing and Community Development.
GovInfo records that H.R. 4659, the Identifying Regulatory Barriers to Housing Supply Act, was introduced on July 23, 2025 and referred to the Committee on Financial Services. The document shows no subsequent enactment or passage, and the last action date listed is July 23, 2025.
The House roll call index for 2026 through the lookback window shows recent votes and passage actions, but no recorded passage of H.R. 4659 or comparable housing-supply regulatory-barrier legislation linked to Vince Fong during the 30-day lookback window.
Assessments
Evidence shows Vince Fong supported the promise by introducing or backing H.R. 4659, the Identifying Regulatory Barriers to Housing Supply Act, in July 2025. That aligns with the pledge to expand housing supply and reduce regulatory barriers. However, the bill has only been introduced and referred to committee, with no passage or enactment shown. Because there was concrete action but no completed policy result, this is best scored as partial rather than delivered.
