Member Events
Our advocacy team has spent the summer hosting policy forums across Washington, listening to community members about what they want to see from the Housing Alliance in the 2027 legislative session.
If you haven’t been able to make it to one of the in-person forums yet, please join us virtually next week for a special forum just for our statewide members:
Virtual Policy Forum for Housing Alliance Members
Wednesday, Sept. 2, 12:00–1:30pm on Zoom
Bring your lunch, get a preview of our draft legislative priorities for 2027, and if you like, share your feedback and tell us what’s most important to your organization right now.
