Sanchez, LaHood, and Panetta, today introduced the bipartisan Rental Housing Investment Act, legislation to increase the supply of long-term rental housing by modernizing the tax code and incentivizing new housing construction amid the nation’s affordability crisis.

Congresswoman Tenney Introduces Bipartisan Rental Housing Investment Act to Expand Housing Supply and Lower Costs
Evidence
The site’s latest-news item says Tenney applauded $3 million in Northern Border Regional Commission funding for NY-24 projects, including housing-related projects.
Tenney’s tax-plan page says she wants a straightforward tax code and highlights making the New Markets Tax Credit permanent, which she says encourages investment and infrastructure growth.
Assessments
The available evidence shows Claudia Tenney engaged in housing-adjacent and tax-policy activity during her term, including support for district housing-related funding and advocacy for a simpler tax code with development-oriented credits. But it does not show that she secured a concrete federal tax-code modernization or enacted a specific incentive that measurably increased the supply of long-term rental housing. Because her actions are relevant but fall short of delivering the promised policy outcome, the claim is best scored as partial rather than delivered.
