Fully KeptFact-checker reviewConfidence: 97%

Independently verified against primary sources. Healey was inaugurated January 5, 2023, so her first-100-days window closed ~April 15, 2023. On March 1, 2023 she filed Reorganization Plan H.43, 'An Act to create the executive office of housing and livable communities and to rename the Executive Office of Economic Development' (Massachusetts Legislature bill page confirms 'FILED ON: 3/1/2023'). That filing was comfortably inside the 100-day window and directly created a cabinet-level Secretary of Housing. The plan was subsequently approved and became Chapter 7 of the Acts of 2023, and the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities was stood up with a Secretary. The promise's actual deliverable (filing on the 100-day timeline) was met 100%, so FULL is correct under a party-neutral standard. Prior rating's sources check out; the strongest are the primary legislature and mass.gov records used below.
