I will always support housing in our state, especially for our young people in need
Continue supporting housing in Delaware, especially for young people in need.
Occurrences
Evidence
The campaign said the ad highlighted work she would continue in the Senate to make housing more affordable, including affordable housing and down payment assistance.
House Roll Call 72 on H.R. 1319, the American Rescue Plan Act, passed 220-211; Blunt Rochester voted Yea.
Delaware announced nearly $6 million in ARPA housing initiatives. One award provided $2.5 million for Seaford House Transitional Residence, serving foster youth.
Congress.gov lists Blunt Rochester as sponsor of S.1299, a housing bill referred to the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee.
S.2051 was introduced by Blunt Rochester to revitalize severely distressed housing in extreme-poverty neighborhoods and includes activities benefiting children and youth.
The Senate passed H.R. 6644, a bill to increase housing supply, 89-10; Blunt Rochester voted Yea.
Assessments
The promise was to continue supporting housing in Delaware, especially for young people in need, not to guarantee a specific enacted housing outcome. In her Senate term, Blunt Rochester sponsored housing legislation including S.1299 and S.2051, with S.2051 directly addressing distressed housing and benefits for children and youth, and she voted for H.R. 6644 to increase housing supply. Those same-term actions show continued federal support on the issue central to the promise. The Delaware ARPA housing projects and her earlier House vote further reinforce a longer record of support, but the clearest fulfillment comes from her same-term Senate sponsorship and voting activity. Because the record shows concrete support efforts rather than a completed Delaware-specific housing result, this is best scored as delivered on a support-oriented promise.
Blunt Rochester has continued to support housing policy in her Senate term by sponsoring housing-related bills, including S.1299 and S.2051, and voting for H.R. 6644 after it passed the Senate. The record also ties her earlier House vote for the American Rescue Plan to Delaware housing funding, including a foster-youth transitional residence, but that delivered funding occurred before the Senate campaign/term and is better treated as prior work rather than full fulfillment of the forward-looking Senate promise. Because the same-term Senate evidence shows serious action but not a clearly enacted or completed housing outcome for Delaware youth, the promise is best rated partial with an effort badge.
