"U.S. Senator Tina Smith Releases New Report on Solutions to the Home Insurance Crisis"

Within the lookback window, Smith was still actively leading housing-related work, but the concrete action was on home insurance rather than a tenant-purchase right. Inference: the original tenant-purchase pledge still appears unresolved.

“Her Homes Act ... [would] ... continue to fight ... until they become law.”

Assessments

unresolved unknown A for effort

In federal context, a U.S. senator can advance and sponsor legislation but cannot deliver enactment alone. The evidence provided shows Smith still framing her housing ideas, including the Homes Act, as proposals she will continue fighting to make law, not as an enacted tenant right of first purchase. That indicates no completed federal policy outcome yet on giving tenants a chance to buy buildings before large for-profit developers. Because Smith remains in office and the record here shows ongoing advocacy rather than a failed closed-out effort, the promise is best scored as unresolved rather than never.
