WALSH Supports Measure 26-199 (local) and Measure 102 (statewide) for Affordable Housing

WALSH supports measures 26-199 (local) and 102 (statewide) for affordable housing along with Yes for Affordable Homes! These measures will provide a stable source of financing for 12,000 people to find affordable places to live. Many of the units will be targeted toward the most vulnerable of our population who need the most help. Providing safe, clean housing and supportive social services will go a long way toward helping the less fortunate in our community. The financial impacts on each of us individually is relatively minor and the impact to improve our community is considerable. By passing both together, we will preserve livability for our region and keep our communities together. We hope you will join us in voting “YES” for both 26-199 and 102!
