PartialFact-checker reviewConfidence: 80%

Independently re-verified all three prongs of this compound promise; PARTIAL is correct and survives a neutral symmetry test. (1) Fair-housing reversal: FULLY delivered within executive control. Biden's Jan 26, 2021 memorandum directed HUD to review Trump's rollbacks; HUD reinstated the interim AFFH rule (2021) and published 'Restoring HUD's Discriminatory Effects Standard' as a final rule (Federal Register Mar 31, 2023, effective May 1, 2023), rescinding the Trump 2020 disparate-impact rule. (2) Expanding affordable housing: PARTIAL. Real executive action (Housing Supply Action Plan announced May 16, 2022, with progress and further actions through Jan 2025), but the major legislative funding (Build Back Better housing dollars, the $1.75B Unlocking Possibilities grant program) stalled in Congress. (3) $15,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit: championed repeatedly (2020 platform, budgets, a 2024 State of the Union variant) but NEVER enacted; the First-Time Homebuyer Act failed to pass in the 117th, 118th, and 119th Congresses. One prong fully kept, one partial, one championed-but-not-landed = 'kept some but not all,' i.e., PARTIAL. Not higher (CHAMPIONED) because a prong was fully KEPT and another only partial, so the aggregate is mixed, not merely a led-but-unfinished effort; not lower (ATTEMPTED/IGNORED) because at least one prong was fully fulfilled and another saw substantial executive action. A same-record promise from the opposing party would receive the identical label. All three prior-rating sources are real, live, and support the outcome.
