Advocate

Imagine Housing works closely with public funders from state and local jurisdictions that help build affordable housing. We advocate for public policies and funding that support the development of affordable housing and the residents who live there.

We know that we can’t solve the affordable housing crisis on our own. There are many intersecting systems and policies that contribute to a shortage of housing. Imagine Housing works with partners, elected officials, and community members to call for more inclusive policies and adequate funding for housing. We often lead community conversations about housing and strive to promote evidence-based policies and programs, like Housing First and Harm Reduction.

What we advocate for:

  • Increased State and local funding for affordable housing
  • A dedicated Eastside funding source
  • Eliminating barriers to housing, such as Source of Income discrimination
  • Increased awareness and understanding of housing issues and barriers to housing
  • Smart and inclusive zoning policies
