On March 24, 2016, U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA) joined by Seattle Mayor Ed Murray, Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland, Everett Mayor Ray Stephanson, and the A.C.T.I.O.N. campaign-a coalition of more than 1,300 national, state, and local affordable housing advocates who are urging Congress to expand the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC)-kicked off a national campaign to increase federal resources for affordable housing. Senator Cantwell called for a 50% expansion of the LIHTC, reforms to better target the lowest income populations with LIHTC projects, and unveiled her report, "Addressing the Challenges of Affordable Housing & Homelessness: The Housing Tax Credit."
