Occurrences

We should make it easier for developers to build more affordable housing by dramatically expanding the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program. We can build an additional 230,000 affordable homes in California by loosening restrictions on LIHTC and expanding funding.

Schiff proposes a major LIHTC expansion to increase affordable housing construction.

Evidence

Schiff announced the Housing BOOM Act at San Francisco's Potrero Power Station and said it would "propose[] a massive expansion of the 9% federal low-income housing tax credits," create a $10 billion annual loan fund, and add a $5 million annual grant program. The report also said Schiff had not lined up Republican support needed to pass it.

Concrete legislative push toward the promised LIHTC expansion, but the report describes it as a long shot with no Republican support and no passage, so the commitment remains unresolved rather than delivered.

Assessments

partial same_term

Part of the promised policy direction was enacted during Schiff's Senate term: on July 4, 2025, Congress passed a broader Republican-led tax package that expanded the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit, including a permanent increase in 9% allocation authority beginning in 2026 and looser bond-financing rules. That counts as some real movement on expanding LIHTC funding and easing restrictions. But Schiff does not merit full delivery credit for that outcome, because it was not his bill and the package passed over Democratic opposition. Schiff's own more sweeping proposal, the Housing BOOM Act he announced on December 6, 2025, would have gone further on LIHTC and housing funding, but as of June 13, 2026 it had not passed and was described as lacking needed bipartisan support. So the promise saw partial fulfillment in the same term, but not full delivery attributable to Schiff.
