Did a bit of a thing today...

Thanks to the #WASen and State Senator Emily Alvarado for the recognition of Habitat for Humanity's 40 years of service on the WA Senate floor today! Check out the proceedings at the link below!

Most days perhaps - but a sunny February when you’ve been down in Olympia all day? That’s one for the books!

Not every day in Olympia is beautiful - but when the sun comes out, we can get treated to a stunning sight.

Some days, I truly do love my job… #waleg

We at Habitat for Humanity were proud to stand with @cmeddielin.bsky.social and the City of Seattle to speed up housing production!

Thank you so much to CM Lin and the rest of Seattle City Council, and thank you to @mayorofseattle.bsky.social for signing this bill yesterday!

Good news: HB 2304, which exempts condo buildings of up to 4 stories and 12 units from Washington’s strict condo liability regime, has passed the House! It moves on to the Senate.

If it passes there, it’ll be time to move on to the harder work of reforming liability for larger buildings.

β€œFor families like the Cornejos, who waited years to close their Habitat home in Seattle, every month of delay means another month of housing instability. Redundant reviews slow housing production without improving environmental outcomes,” Makinster said.

The Companies Behind ICE Sludge built an interactive map of every ICE contractor working with the Trump administration.

A good day to remember that no government can commit atrocities without the cooperation of many people.

As Habitat Minnesota says in the post here, β€œJust as Koinonia chose love over hate, we are committed to building and advocating for a Minnesota where everyone, without exception, has a safe, stable place to call home.”

I stand with Habitat for Humanity of Minnesota and all of the people of Minnesota and Minneapolis standing up to hate. The history of Habitat for Humanity is rooted in the history of Koinonia Farm in Americus, Georgia – which teaches us that hate shows up, love does not quit.

I deleted my earlier post because it linked to the video which I wouldn’t encourage you to watch. But the sentiment remains the same. It was murder. It was an execution. It was illegal state violence against the community.

Another murder by immigration enforcement in my district.

I am absolutely horrified that federal agents are targeting and executing our residents instead of protecting them.

ICE and CBP must leave Minnesota immediately. Kristi Noem must be impeached. Enough.

An interesting take on funded IZ here. I’ve admittedly been one of those with β€œeyebrows raised,” but this could be an interesting way to thread the needle on maintaining the need for housing funding and open market production…

Not sure it’d work - but it starts the conversation!

It’s wild that we spend years, with significant community engagement, to draft comprehensive plans, and we don’t automatically update zoning codes to match those plans. Instead, American planners often need to restart years of new battles to change zoning. This system has so many veto points

Big wins today! Great to hear @governorferguson.bsky.social announce his Capital Budget proposal today and to see him propose over $70m more for affordable homeownership opportunities! And now at an event celebrating the CHA helping over 1,000 people reach their dream of homeownership! #waleg
