Public Law 119-101 is the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, an act "to increase the supply of housing in America." It includes "Addition of affordable housing construction as an eligible activity" and requires HUD to establish grants for planning and implementation activities associated with affordable housing.

Roll Call 224 was on H.R. 6644, Housing for the 21st Century Act; the vote question was final House concurrence in the Senate amendment, the status was Passed, and Rep. Menendez of New Jersey voted Yea.
Assessments
Menendez supported and voted for H.R. 6644, which became Public Law 119-101 and expanded federal housing-supply and affordable-housing eligible activities. That materially advances affordable-housing efforts, but the evidence does not show enactment of the specific promise to create over 1 million affordable homes or the named Affordable Housing Access Program. Because the relevant law passed in a later congressional term relative to the campaign commitment, timing is later_term.
