FactVote averages the four quarterly, not-seasonally-adjusted FHFA all-transactions HPI observations for each year. It compares that series with BEA annual per-capita personal income distributed by FRED, then rebases both to 100 in 2016. This is a pressure indicator, not a home-price-to-income ratio and not a measure of monthly mortgage affordability. Both series are nominal; neither is adjusted for inflation. Per-capita personal income includes earnings, property income, and transfers and is not median household income. Annual observations use December 31; monthly observations use the first of the month. Lines connect consecutive readings and do not supply values between them. Missing observations break the lines.

The timeline combines the corresponding national fact’s reviewed event catalog, labeled National context, with individually reviewed state milestones. State events use primary sources and distinguish signing, effective and filing dates. Each milestone keeps its source-check date, geographical limits and evidence limits. This curated selection is not a complete history.
Date ranges affect events and actions. Action type, status and official-name search affect government records only. Events remain separate from action counts. An event after the latest observation extends context without creating a new reading.

Reviewed signed executive order
Governor Josh Stein signed Executive Order 38 on May 27, 2026. Section 1 requires each Cabinet Secretary to designate a Military Affairs Coordinator to communicate with Military and Veterans Affairs, report agency military engagements and programs, and understand effects on military communities in education, housing, entrepreneurship, technology, energy, health care, consumer protection, infrastructure and transportation. Section 2 requires Military and Veterans Affairs to convene coordinators at least quarterly to recommend strategies, coordinate services and identify quality-of-life opportunities for servicemembers and families. Council of State agencies are invited to designate coordinators and participate. Section 3 requires Cabinet agencies to cooperate with installations, consider readiness and community effects in planning, and, as appropriate, notify affected military commanders and local governing bodies of potentially relevant development, environmental and resiliency projects. Agencies collaborate with grant/permit applicants to avoid readiness harms and incompatible land uses and coordinate with the congressional delegation and federal agencies where appropriate. Section 4 requires Cabinet agencies to work with Military and Veterans Affairs, the Military Affairs Commission, Commerce and interested stakeholders to develop and release an updated Military Economic Impact on North Carolina report, without a fixed publication deadline. Section 5 is effective immediately until repealed, replaced or rescinded and supersedes earlier orders on the same subject, including the November 22, 2013 Order 34. It does not rescind the unrelated March 10, 2026 public-education Order 34. Historical military, employment, procurement and GDP figures in recitals were not independently audited. Actual coordinators, services, grants and the updated report remain unverified. Housing programs and compatible land-use coordination are explicit military-community subjects. The order does not establish completed homes or a mortgage benefit.

Gov. Josh Stein · Issued
Reviewed signed executive order
Governor Josh Stein signed Executive Order 36 on May 19, 2026. Section 1 establishes a Senior Advisor for Housing Policy in the Governor’s Office to develop goals, metrics and an implementation strategy with private, faith, tribal, local and academic partners. An initial proposal is due within 90 days, followed by semiannual progress reporting. Principal departments designate housing leads except the Highway Patrol and State Bureau of Investigation; the Advisor confers with leads within 45 days and at least annually thereafter. Governor-appointed agency heads are directed to participate, while other agency heads are strongly urged. The strategy aligns seven existing plans: the Interagency Council for Coordinating Homeless Programs plan, Strategic Housing Plan, Reentry 2030, Historic Preservation Plan, Consolidated Plan, Multisector Plan for Aging and Strategic Economic Development Plan. It does not terminate Order 25’s homelessness council. Section 2 calls for housing data, technology and NCHFA collaboration addressing underserved areas, historic rehabilitation, small developers, zoning, infrastructure, permitting and markets. Its literal reference to agencies described in Section 1.5 conflicts with that provision’s “strongly urged” treatment of non-Governor-appointed agency heads; this review preserves that tension rather than silently substituting Section 1.4 or asserting all such agencies are compelled. DOT explores housing-connectivity and economic-impact measures and local transit-oriented development, applying Complete Streets to the maximum extent feasible. Administration evaluates underused state property for housing suitability and considers government leases near residences, sidewalks and transit where feasible. These duties do not establish land transfers or completed homes. DEQ supplies flood, landslide and wildfire hazard information, water/wastewater capacity, stormwater and water-allocation coordination and mitigation technology for builders and owners. DHHS and NCHFA explore policy, processes and dashboards for supportive housing for people with mental-health, substance-use, intellectual/developmental disabilities, traumatic brain injury and complex needs, including justice-involved people. Tenant-selection work addresses people repeatedly excluded, including justice-involved, disability and voucher users; it does not itself abolish landlord screening law. Section 3 directs Commerce-led coordination of existing grant and pass-through resources, including infrastructure, with construction-workforce training, graduation and certifications for skilled trades, inspectors, appraisers and mappers. It also addresses material supply chains, innovation and production to reduce building costs and timelines. Housing creation and support receive significant weight in nominating eligible census tracts to the U.S. Treasury for Opportunity Zones. This nomination criterion does not itself approve a federal designation, change tax rates or verify any taxpayer’s benefits. Section 4 is effective immediately until June 30, 2029 unless rescinded. Background housing, income, migration, investment and jobs figures were not independently audited. Actual appointments, 45/90-day deliverables, homes, grants, designations and observed affordability changes remain unverified. Housing supply, affordability, supportive housing and coordinated development are the order’s direct purposes; completed homes and placements remain unverified.

Records come from published fact relationships or reviewed topic records with official supporting evidence and verified North Carolina officeholder attribution. Historical executive officials require evidence tied to the action date and are excluded from incumbent proposals. Inclusion follows an explicit topic review, a related state fact, or the action’s title and supporting evidence. Explicit topic reviews take priority; repeated actions use the most recent explicit review for this topic. Duplicate actions attached to several facts appear once. This topic match is not a new finding that an action caused a result, and the reviewed collection is selective. Collection reviewed Oct 6, 2026.

For Congresswoman Alma Adams, there are four necessities that all people require to live a quality life – affordable and accessible healthcare, access to healthy and nutritious food, fair and affordable housing, and a quality, first-class education. These essentials, which Alma calls “the 4H’s”, should not be political issues; they should be rights guaranteed to all people. She believes this because she knows personally how hard it is to survive without them.

Alma understands the challenges facing public education as well as anyone. She knows it is getting harder and harder for students to afford to attend colleges and universities. In Congress, Alma will work to increase student supports, such as Pell Grants, and the reduction in the interest rate on student loans. She also will continue fighting to cancel debt for past and current students who are struggling to pay off their loans. Specifically, she has introduced a resolution with Leader Chuck Schumer, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley calling on the President to forgive $50,000 in student loan debt for every American.

This section matches specific housing, rent, homeownership and borrowing costs terms in retained, attributed source text from published North Carolina candidate profiles. A profile heading or biography alone does not qualify. The Florida geography is fixed; saved state preferences cannot change these results. A mention can concern a community or group rather than Florida’s statewide measure.
Matching is automatic and does not establish a candidate’s stance, the accuracy of a claim, or an effect on the measured result. Results are grouped by recorded race, then by candidate name. Within each candidate, the matching issue mentions appear first. Only candidates with matching retained statements are shown; this is not a complete race roster. Repeated identical text for the same candidate is shown once. Coverage follows the existing state profiles and is not a complete record of all candidates or everything they have said. Review dates are not statement dates.

Only current North Carolina officeholders retained in the reviewed collection qualify. Bills require a recorded primary sponsorship; cosponsors and signing officials are excluded from sponsorship counts. An official introducer recorded as acting by request is labeled “Introduced by request”; that procedural role does not establish personal policy endorsement. Governor and agency records qualify when recorded as proposed. A separately verified governor transmittal can also establish an original proposal whose latest status reflects its later outcome. Signing an enacted law alone does not establish a proposal. A record appearing under several facts is counted once per officeholder. A bill with multiple primary sponsors appears under each recorded sponsor.
Enacted bills, adopted resolutions and unsuccessful measures remain visible as proposal history. Passing one chamber is not enactment. These counts do not measure effectiveness or prove that an action changed a North Carolina statistic. Collection reviewed Oct 6, 2026.
Sources & methods
Every section retains its primary sources, units, reporting periods and comparison limits. Maps, graphs and tables use the same observation and cohort. All 50 states are listed; D.C. and territories are excluded. Missing and suppressed values remain unavailable and never become zero.
#1 is the highest measured value. Equal source values share a rank and leave gaps (1, 2, 2, 4). Ranks use source precision and are descriptive, not a score of the state. Survey uncertainty and reporting coverage can limit comparisons. Published U.S. benchmarks are used where available; a state average is not substituted.
North Carolina snapshots and fiscal sources keep their own dates and accounting scope. National events and federal distribution explainers describe national context. Actions and statements are filtered to North Carolina, retain their reviewed evidence, and do not establish that a policy caused a measured change.
