Affordable housing is King County’s most pressing need. Right now, King County Councilmembers can vote to increase affordable housing with revenue from the Lodging Tax. They can and should invest the most they can to build new affordable homes for King County residents, to begin to close our community's affordable housing gap of 157,000 homes now, and 244,000 homes by 2040. We call on Executive Constantine and all members of the King County Council to amend the current proposal (to invest only the minimum in affordable housing), and instead to maximize public dollars for this most pressing community need.
