2021 Endorsements

The Washington Housing Alliance Action Fund educates voters, promotes smart public policy, and supports candidates who share our vision that all Washington residents have the opportunity to live in safe, healthy, affordable homes, in thriving communities. The work of Housing Champions has resulted in extraordinary wins for housing and homelessness policies, particularly in collaboration with our wide network over the last three years. 

This year we are considering endorsements in specific local races. Our endorsements are below.

We are proud to have our first subcommittee for the Action Fund in Snohomish County. For more information go to their page: Housing Action Alliance of Snohomish County (HAASC).
