Day of Action for the Affordable Homes Act
Our housing crisis cannot be addressed without public investment in housing that is affordable to low-income households. The Affordable Homes Act would provide dedicated funding support for our neighbors who need it the most.
Here’s how you can take action today in 3 easy steps:
Step 1: Find your legislative district.
If you don’t know what state legislative district you’re in, use the District Finder to find your district. Just enter your address and click “Find My District”.
Step 2: Call your legislator and leave a message.
We have targeted messages for some legislators. Click on the header below that applies to you to see instructions for your district.
If you live in Legislative District 48:
Representative Amy Walen has previously voted “no” on the Affordable Homes Act. Call Rep. Walen at (360) 786-7848 and ask her to change her position. You can use this script:
“My name is __, and I live in the 48th Legislative District. Our community is in desperate need of affordable homes and I want you to support HB 1628. I am dismayed that you voted no on the bill in committee and I’m asking you to change your position.”
If you live in Legislative District 21, 24, 27, 28, 29, 30, 32, 33, 34, 41, 42, 46, 47, or 49:
One or more of your legislators has not expressed a clear position on the Affordable Homes Act. Find the lawmaker or lawmakers in your district on the list below and call them with the following message:
“My name is __, and I live in the __ Legislative District. Our community is in desperate need of affordable housing and I need you to support HB 1628 and to do everything you can to make sure it is passed. Please let me know where you stand on this bill.”
