Tell Your Legislators to Support Growing Together

Washington is facing a lot of problems – it’s harder for a lot of people to afford the basics like housing and transportation, we’re seeing local effects of worsening climate change, and people are facing a lot of uncertainty about the future. We have an opportunity in the upcoming year to pass legislation that would support more homes of all kinds for everyone, making it easier to get a roof over everyone's head and make it affordable to live in our state.

That's why we're calling on our legislators to support the following policy priorities:

Remove barriers for permanent supportive housing and emergency shelters (HB 2266/SB 6069). These are often the hardest housing types to site because local jurisdictions add costly and unnecessary requirements beyond other housing types, in part due to stigma or neighborhood opposition.
Encourage more middle housing development by making it cheaper and easier to build homes by allowing smaller elevators (HB 5156) and scissor stairs (HB 2228/SB 6001)
Allow more middle housing condos by reforming condo liability law (HB 2304)
Balance rural housing affordability with protecting farms and natural resources like water.

We have the potential to create thriving, affordable, environmentally-friendly communities with your help. I hope you can help lead the way this session.
