Evidence

Representative Johnny Olszewski, Jr. (1982 - ) In Congress 2025 - Present; Party Democratic; House Maryland, District 2 119th (2025-Present). Member Activity: Sponsored Legislation [9]; Cosponsored Legislation (All) [204]; Subject - Policy Area: Housing and Community Development [3]; Became Law [1].

Congress.gov confirms Olszewski's relevant federal term began in the 119th Congress and lists his legislative activity. The member activity page does not show an enacted measure requiring HUD and the Census Bureau to study or create a housing-loss measurement system; only three activities are categorized under Housing and Community Development, and the page text contains no HUD, Census, or homelessness-metric item.

The Annual Homelessness Assessment Report (AHAR) is a HUD report to the U.S. Congress that provides nationwide estimates of homelessness. The report is based on Homeless Management Information Systems data, point-in-time counts, and shelter and housing inventory data. 2025 AHAR: Part 1 was published May 2026.

HUD already produces homelessness estimates for Congress, including a May 2026 AHAR, but this is an existing HUD homelessness-reporting process, not evidence that Olszewski fulfilled the promise to require HUD and the Census Bureau to study federal housing-loss tracking and report to Congress toward a national housing-loss metric similar to unemployment.

Latest Action: House - 09/26/2025 Referred to the House Committee on Financial Services. This bill has the status Introduced. Cosponsors (3).

One housing-related bill associated with Olszewski's Congress.gov activity is only an introduced pilot program for converting blighted buildings into housing. It does not require a HUD/Census Bureau study or create a national housing-loss metric, and it had not advanced beyond referral.

The cited evidence shows HUD has an existing AHAR homelessness reporting process, but not the promised new requirement for HUD and the U.S. Census Bureau to study federal housing-loss tracking and report to Congress toward a national housing-loss measure. Olszewski has served in Congress since 2025, and the provided Congress.gov evidence does not identify any sponsored, enacted, or materially advanced measure matching this promise. The related housing bill cited is only an introduced blight-to-housing pilot and does not address the HUD/Census study or national housing-loss metric.
