evidence-backed verdictsThese are sourced verdicts from fact-checkers or community evidence reviews — not opinions.
Independently verified. Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA-09) sponsored the Promoting Affordable Housing Near Transit Act (H.R.3680), and its substance was enacted as Section 6609 of the FY2022 National Defense Authorization Act (Public Law 117-81, signed Dec. 27, 2021). I confirmed on the live enacted-law text that PL 117-81 contains 'SEC. 6609. Property disposition for affordable housing' under Division F, Title LXVI. Up For Growth (live) independently confirms every element of the promise: Adam Smith introduced the bill; it lets a nonprofit or third-party receive transit land at zero cost; at least 40% of units must be affordable to households at or below 60% AMI; affordability lasts 30 years; and it was included in the FY2022 NDAA and signed into law. The promise was to 'sponsor and pass' the Act, and both occurred (sponsored, and full substance enacted via the NDAA vehicle), so FULL is correct and party-neutral. REVISE (not CONFIRM) only because the prior rating's HUD Exchange source is now a dead link (HTTP 404); it is replaced here with the enacted public-law text. congress.gov's H.R.3680 page is a real, live page that merely blocks automated fetches (403).
