Washington Low Income Housing Alliance Priorities for the 2021 Legislative Session

January 7, 2021 by Deb Cruz Leave a Comment

Increase and Preserve Affordable Housing: Invest $240 million for the Housing Trust Fund and an additional $10 million from the Capital Budget for preservation of affordable housing (USDA and other properties at risk of loss).

Keep people in their homes and prevent an increase in homelessness: Pass statewide protections against discriminatory and arbitrary evictions (good cause termination requirements) and prevent evictions based on nonpayment of rent with improved legal protections and rental assistance.

Increase state resources to prevent and end homelessness: Significantly increase the state’s document recording fee to increase resources to prevent homelessness by adding $100

Create and increase sources of progressive revenue: Protect against any cuts to affordable housing, homelessness and human services programs by passing significant new progressive revenue.
