I strongly support and advocate for policies aimed at making housing more affordable for working people nationwide, including expanding housing choice vouchers and boosting block grants to state and local governments to help provide housing to low-income families.

The House Clerk recorded Roll Call 385 on H.R.5376, Build Back Better Act, as an On Passage vote with status Passed, 220-213. The vote table lists Ross, Democratic, NC, as Yea.
Assessments
Ross’s promise was support-focused, not an enactment-only pledge. During her first House term, she voted yea on House passage of H.R.5376, the Build Back Better Act, whose House-engrossed text included major funding for expanded housing vouchers and Community Development Block Grant funding for affordable housing and infrastructure. That is sufficient candidate action in federal office to count the promised support as delivered in the same term, even though the broader bill did not become law as passed by the House.
