Congress.gov lists H.R.4258, the Family Self-Sufficiency Act, as sponsored by Rep. Sean Duffy, not Marsha Blackburn. The summary says it revised the FSS program, an employment and savings incentive program for families in public housing or with housing vouchers, and extended eligibility to tenants in certain project-based rental assistance properties.

Official bill record shows legislation matching the housing-assistance self-sufficiency policy was introduced by another member and passed the House, but it was not introduced by Blackburn.

Congress.gov identifies Marsha Blackburn as serving in the Senate from the 116th through 119th Congresses, beginning in 2019, and in the House for Tennessee's 7th district from the 108th through 115th Congresses, ending in 2019.
