through my position on appropriations, I have been able to help finance affordable housing two projects in the city of Bath so that BIW workers don't have to travel so far. Housing projects also in Lewiston, and one for seniors in Callas

Why we checked itCollins claims specific federally-funded affordable housing projects in named Maine cities (Bath, Lewiston, Callas) attributable to her appropriations work — verifiable against federal funding records
What we foundCollins did secure federally directed housing funding for Bath, Lewiston, and Calais through her appropriations role, but the claim of 'two affordable housing projects in Bath for BIW workers' conflates two distinct projects: one traditional affordable housing project (Centre Street) and one BIW workforce housing project that BIW itself describes as not government-subsidized affordable housing in the traditional sense.
