Tonight’s Takeaways
What did you learn tonight?
Advocating for
Affordable Housing
What can you
advocate for?
King County needs 156,000
affordable homes right now!
How can you make that happen?
Action #1: Increase public investments in
affordable housing
We can urge governments to
use more funds for affordable
housing, which often can get
matched by other money, like
the federal Low-Income
Housing Tax credit.
Governments collect taxes and
spend money for the public good.
Action #2: Including affordable housing in
new development
We can also build affordable
housing by requiring
developers to build some
affordable units in other
housing projects they build.
Action #3: Support specific affordable
housing projects
Increase public support to
build affordable housing helps
us get more affordable
housing in more places.
Who can you advocate to?
You can advocate at any level of
government!
● You can send feedback to your state legislators online!
