Evidence

Smith's housing page says the Homes Act would create over a million permanently affordable homes and that she will keep fighting for measures like it until they become law.

Current official issue page shows the Homes Act is still an active proposal, not a completed promise.

Guardian reported that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Tina Smith introduced the Homes Act in the House and Senate in September 2024.

This is concrete legislative action in the same Senate term, but it is introduction rather than enacted delivery of the promised set-asides.

The official release says the Homes Act authorizes $30 billion in annual appropriations and includes a 5% minimum set-aside for Tribal communities and a 10% minimum set-aside for rural communities.

Concrete legislative introduction matching the claimed Tribal and rural set-asides; this is effort, not enactment.

The bill text authorizes $30,000,000,000 for each fiscal year 2025 through 2035 and requires not less than 5 percent for Indian Tribes and tribally designated housing entities and not less than 10 percent for rural communities.

Primary legislative text confirms the promised set-asides were proposed in the bill.

Senator Smith’s housing page still lists the Homes Act as a bill and says she will continue to fight for measures like these until they become law.

Official Senate page treats the Homes Act as unfinished legislation, indicating the promise was not yet delivered.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

Tina Smith materially advanced the promise by introducing the HOMES Act in September 2024, which included the proposed set-asides for Tribal and rural communities. But the available evidence indicates the bill remained only a proposal as of Senator Smith's official 2025 housing page, which says she will keep fighting for measures like it until they become law. Because there was a serious legislative attempt without enactment or implementation of the promised funding reservations, this is best scored as not delivered, with effort credit.
