HOUSING & HOMELESSNESS
From proposing and debating legislation to collaborating with community stakeholders and implementing impactful changes, we delve into the pivotal role of the legislature in shaping the housing landscape of our state.
On The Issues – Moderate & Low Income Housing Supply
Some of the most pressing issues facing Washington State revolve around housing and homelessness, including the high cost of housing, the availability of affordable housing, the number of people experiencing homelessness, and the soaring costs of building more housing. In the 2024 Legislative Session alone, there are hundreds of bills introduced that are related to these issues, so they are on the minds of all legislators, Democrats and Republicans alike.
