Tell the House Housing Committee to VOTE YES on HB 2266

HB 2266, the bill to remove barriers for STEP housing is in the House Housing Committee and needs to get voted out!

Washington is facing a housing and homelessness crisis that is affecting communities in every corner of the state. STEP Housing is an umbrella term that includes emergency shelters, transitional housing, emergency housing, and permanent supportive housing. 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.

If we are truly going to treat homelessness as a crisis and plan for housing that is affordable across all income levels, cities need to meet their shelter and housing requirements, especially for the most vulnerable populations. Too many cities have failed to do this for STEP housing, and the state needs to take stronger action to remove unnecessary barriers for shelter and housing.
