Carter’s office announced that he secured FEMA deadline extensions for New Orleans’ Joint Infrastructure Recovery Request program to 2028 and that FEMA agreed to review other active Katrina recovery projects for potential extensions. The release describes JIRR as a FEMA-funded initiative to repair 10,000 blocks of streets and drainage systems damaged by Katrina.
Carter’s official site says Representatives Troy A. Carter and Alma Adams sent a letter to HHS and HRSA urging HRSA not to delay critical funding for the Sickle Cell Disease Newborn Screening Follow-Up Program. The page says Congress provided full 2026 funding for the program at $7 million and that Carter said he would keep pushing until the grants are secured.

Assessments
Carter promised to continue fighting for needed community funding, an effort-oriented federal House promise rather than a fixed funding target. During his House service he voted for the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in 2021, which became law and funded infrastructure categories directly relevant to Louisiana's 2nd District, and later backed FY2024 appropriations while also pressing FEMA and health agencies on district-relevant funding issues. Because the core promise was continued advocacy for funding and there is evidence of both advocacy and enacted federal funding during his term, this counts as delivered, with same_term timing based on the 2021 infrastructure law vote and enactment.
