Our First Advocates Call of the 2018 Legislative Session

Share:

Reiny Cohen, Director of Communications

Every other Friday during the legislative session, all affordable housing and homelessness advocates are invited to join us for a conference call and webinar to hear the latest updates from Olympia! Our policy team will report back on on the progress of our lead policy priorities, as well as bills from our partner organizations that we are supporting.

These calls are designed to:

  1. Keep you informed on housing and homelessness policies in the legislature,
  2. Teach you about the legislative process, and 
  3. Provide a space to ask questions and sharpen your advocacy skills.

Click here to register for our upcoming calls on Jan 26, Feb 9 and 23, and March 9.  

January 12 was our first call of the session, and you can listen to the recording below. We discussed the Housing Alliance's lead policy agenda and a recap on the first week of the legislative session.
