House Page, Dhanyashree Ramanathan, asks Senate Housing Committee Chair, Jessica Bateman (D) 22nd District, and Ranking Member, Keith Goehner( R) 12th District, “…In my research on the Covenant Homeownership Program, I learned that Washington is trying to address the effects of redlining by helping first-time homebuyers from communities that were historically denied housing. Do you think policies like this are effective in addressing the long-term impacts of redlining, and what specific steps can the legislature take, from both a targeted equity perspective and a market-driven approach, to ensure fair and equal homeownership opportunities for everyone?
The Senate Housing Committee considers issues relating to:
Housing affordability and stability
Mobile home parks
Landlord tenant issues
Land use issues primarily related to housing
Homelessness prevention
