Expanding Housing Subsidies in the Child Welfare System
2025 - Washington House of Representatives
Conservatives Oppose
Description
This bill expands the child welfare housing assistance program, increasing state support for housing costs in cases tied to child welfare involvement. It grows another niche social program instead of pursuing broader pro-family economic policies. CPAC is wary of expanding permanent subsidy programs rather than addressing root economic and regulatory drivers and opposed this bill. The House passed this bill on 2025-03-03 by a vote of 62-35. The bill later became law.
