The Washington Low Income Housing Alliance says:

Thanks to advocates, legislative champions, and the Governor, the document recording fees have been extended for five more years! While this falls short of eliminating the sunsets, this is much better than a one-year extension that the Majority Coalition Caucus had originally proposed. SSB 5875 reauthorizes document recording fees, ensuring that for the next five years, shelters around the state won’t be closing, and services to prevent and triage homelessness will remain available.

Previous Post:  Washington state’s document recording fees are a significant source of support for organizations like Plymouth. Those fees are critical to our ability to provide formerly homeless men and women with the permanent housing and comprehensive support services that allow them to leave the streets forever.

 

But the potential impact of these fees are threatened by proposed amendments to ESHB 2368.

 

We still have a chance to make a difference, even this late in the legislative session!

Please take just 2 minutes now to ask your Senator to pass an unamended ESHB 2368 so that organizations like Plymouth can continue to save thousands of lives and millions of dollars every year.
