Resolution 994 – Housing is a Human Right

WHEREAS housing is a human right and should be guaranteed to everyone; and

WHEREAS urban and suburban centers with access to transit, jobs, and resources have historically stifled housing production and suppressed a variety of housing types known to be traditionally affordable;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the WSDCC advocate to break down barriers to multifamily housing options in cities and towns by ensuring endorsements and support for legislators who propose housing affordability measures are instituted during the election cycles; and

BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the WSDCC advocate publically in response to legislation during state legislative session periods for Housing Affordability measures, including statewide zoning reform, multifamily tax exemptions, and other ways and means, especially through testimony and calls to action by membership.
