People + Places 2012 King County State Legislative Candidate Forums

Share:

In partnership with The Housing Development Consortium and other community stakeholders, The Housing Alliance is co-sponsoring the upcoming People + Places: 2012 State Legislative Candidate Forums in your area. 

This is an excellent opportunity for non-profit board members, advocates, community members, and direct service providers to hear directly from candidates throughout King County.  Send representatives from your board, staff or community group who can report back on where the candidates stand on the issues that matter most, including affordable housing and an end to homelessness.
