2023 Legislative Wrap-up
The Washington State Legislature wrapped up the 2023 session on April 23rd. The end of the session left advocates hopeful and ready for change as our legislators made several investments into the affordable housing and homelessness crisis.
Direct service providers and advocates who have lived experience with housing instability, injustice, and homelessness, along with CFTH staff and partners, advocated for a bold budget to address housing justice and homelessness this year. This was done by communicating with legislators, testifying in committee hearings, and weighing in online in support of or opposition to proposed bills. Clark County had 60 advocates in total share their voices at Olympia this session.
