Millions of Americans struggle to pay rent every month.

I have traveled across Washington state listening to the stories of Americans who work hard day in and day out and yet still struggle to find an affordable home — or worse, face homelessness — due to skyrocketing housing costs.

From Seattle to Walla Walla, the housing crisis is real. All it takes is just one emergency or one illness for a family to lose their home completely.

Friends ~ that’s why I’m leading a bipartisan group of senators to expand the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC). By strengthening and building upon this already successful program, we can provide 1.3 million affordable homes over a 10-year period to families throughout the country — that’s 400,000 more homes than currently possible.

Help me ensure that more families can find affordable housing by signing on as a “citizen co-sponsor” to the Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act today.

There is no doubt that we are in the midst of a deep affordable housing crisis.

But Washington state families — and families throughout the country — deserve better. They deserve a safe and decent place to live and call home, at a price they can afford.

I’ve been a staunch supporter of affordable housing in the Senate, and I’ll keep fighting with everything I have. But it’s going to take all of us working together to end our nation’s housing crisis.

Join me, and stand up for the Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act now!

Thank you,

Maria Cantwell
U.S. Senator
