BuildUp Washington
Your WMFHA Advocacy Team is excited to announce the formation of a new coordinated advocacy and grassroots lobbying campaign to fight against HB 1217 and SB 5222 (rent cap legislation) in Olympia this session.
BuildUp Washington is a partnership between WMFHA, NAIOP Washington, and many member housing providers and developers, with the goal of 1) educating lawmakers of the damaging and harmful short and longer term consequences that come with adopting a rent cap policy and 2) offering viable solutions that get to the root of our housing crisis – the need for MORE HOUSING!
Here is more about BuildUp and what their mission is:
“Washington state is home to us. We are a coalition of compassionate businesses, trade associations, and housing providers who are intimately involved in solving the housing supply issue facing the Evergreen State, ensuring that there are enough safe and welcoming housing options for all. We operate in every legislative district in this state, delivering housing to individuals and families, and employing thousands of Washingtonians.”
