On the last day of session -- sine die -- the House and Senate both passed the final version of the rent stabilization bill! While not everything we wanted, this will provide predictability and protection from rent gouging for tenants all across Washington. Passage of this bill represents an important step forward, toward housing justice, and gives us a strong foundation to further improve tenant protections in the future.

Dear friends and colleagues,
With love, laughter, and a shared determination to carry her work forward, we remember our friend, teacher, and mentor Nancy Amidei, who died earlier this month at her home.

For a long time, we've known the solutions to homelessness and housing instability. We know it's possible to give everyone in Washington the opportunity to live in a safe, healthy, affordable home. We just need to build the public will to demand implementation of these solutions.
