Evidence

The Senate Banking Committee's Jan. 23, 2025 release lists Sen. Tina Smith as ranking member of the Housing, Transportation, and Community Development subcommittee.

Smith retained a housing-policy leadership role in the current term, but this page does not show the Homes Act being enacted, advanced, or otherwise resolved in the lookback window.

The article reports that Smith and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez introduced the Homes Act, and says the proposal would let some homes offer Americans the opportunity to build equity while keeping purchase prices permanently affordable.

This is the clearest concrete action tied to the promise: Smith helped introduce a bill consistent with the shared-equity homeownership piece, but the reporting does not show enactment or the separate foreclosure-relief promise being delivered.

Smith's official housing page says her Homes Act would create over a million permanently affordable homes and that she will keep pushing for these measures until they become law.

Official Senate office material shows the Homes Act was still a proposal in 2026, not a completed law, which supports a failure finding rather than delivery.

The report says Smith and Ocasio-Cortez introduced the Homes Act; it would let some residents build equity and keep some homes permanently affordable.

This documents concrete legislative action tied to the shared-equity/homeownership part of the claim, but it is only an introduction report and does not show enactment or foreclosure relief delivered.

Smith's committee page says she is the ranking member of the Housing, Transportation, and Community Development Subcommittee, which oversees federal housing and transit programs.

This is official context showing ongoing housing-policy responsibility in the same term, but it does not show the Homes Act being enacted or otherwise resolved.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Smith materially advanced the promise by introducing and promoting the Homes Act, which matches the shared-equity homeownership portion of the claim. But the evidence indicates the measure was still only a proposal in 2025-2026, and there is no showing that either the shared-equity home-purchase provisions or the promised foreclosure-relief outcome became law or were otherwise delivered. Under the stated rule, a serious legislative attempt that did not achieve the promised outcome counts as never, with effort credit.

Tina Smith helped introduce the Homes Act, which matches the shared-equity homeownership part of the claim, but the available evidence does not show the bill enacted or the foreclosure-relief promise delivered. That is a serious legislative attempt, so it earns effort credit, but the outcome itself was not achieved.
