Evidence

The article reports that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Tina Smith introduced the Homes Act in Congress and says the proposal would fund social housing that would remain affordable by law.

This shows Tina Smith took concrete legislative action on the housing commitment, but it is still only a proposal rather than enacted policy, so the promise remains unresolved rather than delivered.

The report says Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Tina Smith introduced the Homes Act in the House and Senate. It describes the measure as proposed legislation that would make federally funded housing remain affordable by law if enacted.

This shows Tina Smith took concrete legislative action on the housing idea, but it was only an introduced bill, not a delivered policy.

This article describes the Homes Act 2024 as a proposal presented that week by Ocasio-Cortez and Tina Smith, not as enacted law. It frames the plan as a legislative initiative for a federal housing authority and affordable homes.

This independently confirms the housing plan remained a proposal after introduction, so it does not show fulfillment of the promise.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

In the federal Senate context, this promise would require enacted law or another completed federal policy outcome, not just bill introduction. The evidence shows Tina Smith materially advanced the promise by introducing the Senate version of the Homes Act in September 2024 alongside Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and the proposal included the affordability structure described in the claim. But the evidence also shows it remained proposed legislation rather than enacted law, and there is no showing that the 40 percent/30 percent affordability requirement was ever implemented by June 30, 2026. Under the rubric, that is a serious legislative attempt without delivery, so it counts as never with effort credit.

never unknown A for effort

Tina Smith co-introduced the Homes Act, which is a concrete legislative effort toward the affordability requirement, but the evidence only shows introduction of a bill, not enactment or implementation. Because the promised housing requirement was not actually delivered, this counts as a failed serious attempt rather than fulfillment.
