“She raised more than $700 million, and helped build or preserve more than 7,000 affordable homes”
What the record shows ·
In 2019 she pledged $1 billion toward 20,000 affordable homes by 2026. The city's December 2020 report counted $497 million in city-controlled funds and 6,007 homes since January 2018, about half still in the pipeline. In March 2021 she said nearly $500 million in locally controlled public funds had gone to affordable housing, with more than 6,000 new or preserved homes.
Why there is no assessment here
We could not find an official count of the money and homes at the end of her term, so the $700 million and 7,000 figures were not checked.
Limit: The $1 billion goal counted private and charity money as well as public money, so a total raised is not the same as city spending. The city's counts include money committed but not yet spent, and homes not yet finished.
