I know the high cost of housing is hard on families and on our economy. The legislature made progress this year on housing, with $127.5 million in the construction budget for the Housing Trust Fund and a number of new reforms. The Workforce Housing Accelerator Program (House Bill 1892) creates a loan program to speed up the construction of affordable housing throughout the state. Another reform (House Bill 2071) makes it easier to build middle housing by putting triplexes, quads, and other options under the residential code instead of the costlier and more time-consuming commercial code.
