GovInfo lists Public Law 119-101, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, approved July 11, 2026, with bill number H.R. 6644 and the full title: An act to increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes. The public-law text includes housing supply frameworks and provisions addressing policies to reduce regulatory barriers to housing and increase housing supply.
Assessments
Public Law 119-101, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, was approved on July 11, 2026 and is titled as legislation to increase housing supply. The House Clerk records Vince Fong voting Yea on final House concurrence for H.R. 6644 on June 23, 2026. Because the promise was to support legislation, and aligned housing-supply/regulatory-barrier legislation passed during his federal House term with his recorded support, the promise is delivered in the same term.
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.
