2022 Legislative Wrap-Up
After a fast-moving 60 days, Washington State legislators wrapped up the intense 2022 session on March 10 at 11:30pm. The end of the session left advocates hopeful as our legislators made historic investments into the affordable housing and homelessness crisis by addressing new legislation as well as related funding.
Direct service providers and people who have lived experience with housing instability, injustice, and homelessness, like CFTH staff and partners, worked towards pushing advocacy for the budget this year by highlighting the importance of communicating with legislators, and participating and testifying in virtual committee hearings.
