You may know that there are two organizations working closely with one another to advocate and organize for housing justice at the state level: the Washington Low Income Housing Alliance (Housing Alliance) and the Washington Housing Alliance Action Fund (Action Fund). But why is having two distinct organizations necessary? How do they work to support each other? What makes them unique from one another?

This year’s election was great for housing champions! With housing and homelessness a major focal point in the election this year, the people have spoken in favor of compassionate housing and homelessness strategies.
Join us in Seattle on June 6 to celebrate the progress we've made together, recognize some of the people who made that possible, and help raise money for our PAC to elect housing champions.

Every year here at the Action Fund, we like to recognize the folks whose work for housing justice in Washington had the greatest impact on expanding access to affordable homes and ending homelessness. We call these folks Housing Heroes, and this year we gave them special recognition at our PAC the House event on June 20.
Let's give it up for these Housing Heroes!
