Occurrences

The Affordable Housing and Homeownership Protection Act would raise $51 billion over a decade by taxing investors that purchase large numbers of single-family homes, with revenue split between the Housing Trust Fund (HTF) and Capital Magnet Fund (CMF).

The bill Smith co-led would raise $51 billion over ten years from investor taxes and direct the money to HTF and CMF.

Evidence

House and Senate leaders reached a bipartisan agreement on the 21st Century Road to Housing Act. The final version removes the Senate's seven-year sell requirement for newly built rental homes and was still expected to pass both chambers the following week.

Related housing legislation advanced, but the deal shows the investor-related provision was watered down and the bill was still not enacted.

Congress said it had reached a deal on a major housing bill, with final Senate approval still expected later that week and a House vote to follow. The package includes a ban on large institutional investors buying single-family homes, but it was not yet signed into law.

The related housing package was still moving through Congress as of June 16, 2026, so the specific revenue pledge had not been delivered.

H.R. 6644 (ENR) - 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act; Last Action Date Listed June 25, 2026.

The final enrolled housing package in Congress was H.R. 6644, a broad housing-supply bill dated June 25, 2026. This shows the relevant legislative vehicle advanced in Tina Smith's term, but it was not the promised investor-tax funding measure for the Housing Trust Fund and Capital Magnet Fund.

No additional funds are authorized to be appropriated to carry out the requirements of this Act or any amendment made by this Act.

The enacted text explicitly says no additional funds are authorized, which is inconsistent with a promise to raise about $51 billion over ten years for the Housing Trust Fund and Capital Magnet Fund.

No matching text found for "Capital Magnet Fund" in the enacted bill text.

The final enrolled bill text contains no Capital Magnet Fund provision, and the related search also does not surface the promised Housing Trust Fund revenue mechanism. That is strong evidence the specific funding pledge was not enacted.

Assessments

unresolved same_term A for effort

As of June 20, 2026, this promise had not been delivered. The closest related vehicle was the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act: the Senate passed a version on March 12, 2026, and leaders announced a House-Senate deal on June 16, 2026, but final passage and presidential signature were still pending. More importantly, the live legislation centered on restricting large institutional investors from buying single-family homes, not on the specific promised mechanism of taxing those investors to raise about $51 billion over ten years for the Housing Trust Fund and Capital Magnet Fund. Smith can receive effort credit because the issue was actively moving through Congress during her term and within her housing-policy lane, but the specific tax-and-funding outcome was not yet enacted.
