Washington Low Income Housing Alliance Community Meetings
This summer and fall, the Housing Alliance is traveling around the state to hear from the people in local communities about your needs and priorities. They'll share what we're thinking about for upcoming policy priorities for the 2026 legislative session and gather feedback on what you think is most important to focus on for the next several years.
This is an opportunity for you to share what policy changes you think are most important to solve the affordable housing and homelessness crisis in your community, and to share specific challenges, opportunities, or trends in your region.
The first meeting will be held August 26 in Vancouver, and we encourage anyone in the area to register!
When: Tuesday, August 26 from 1-2:30pm
Where: Southwest Washington Accountable Community of Health (SWACH)
311 W. 11th St., Vancouver, WA 98660
If you are unable to attend in person, we're also holding the first in a series of statewide virtual forums on August 27 from 5:30-7pm on Zoom.
