When the Washington State House of Representatives released its proposal for the Capital budget they had the foresight to make a significant investment in the Housing Trust Fund. An investment in affordable housing not only means housing, it means jobs, and our communities need both.
Now your Senators need to hear from you. There is currently a proposal to fund the Housing Trust fund at $50 million. An investment of this size will create at least 1,500 jobs, generate $10.3 million in taxes for local governments, and bring in $28.7 million in income for local businesses. Now is a critical time to contact your Senator to urge support for this critical investment. It is your advocacy that will ensure the Trust Fund is funded at $50 million.
