Thurston County commissioner to present Regional Housing Council letter supporting Affordable Homes Act bills
Summary
Commissioner Clouse will present a Regional Housing Council letter supporting Senate Bill 6191 and House Bill 2276 (Affordable Homes Act) at a Regional Housing Council meeting; commissioners were asked for input before the presentation.
Commissioner Clouse told the Thurston County Board of County Commissioners on Jan. 22 that she will present a letter on behalf of the Regional Housing Council in support of Senate Bill 6191 and House Bill 2276, described in the meeting as related to the Affordable Homes Act.
Clouse said she did not draft the letter but will present it because the chair of the Regional Housing Council had a conflict of interest presenting legislative items due to that person's employment. She asked fellow commissioners if they had input to convey; no additional direction or edits were provided during the meeting, and Clouse said she would report back after the RHC meeting later that night.
Commissioners characterized the bills at a high level as legislation intended to fund homes. Clouse and others said the purpose of sending letters is to show broad local support and to urge legislators not to reallocate funding away from the program.
The transcript records the bill numbers and the council's planned letter of support but does not record the letter's text or any formal county endorsement or vote in the meeting. The clerk or staff did not present a formal county action or motion on the record during this item.
