Housing Action Alert

November 12, 2004

Submitted by Kathy Kregor – Legislative Advocacy Committee

 

Why you are getting this alert:

The Rental Housing Support Program Bill S.B. 520 passed out of the House of Representatives and has moved to Senate. 

If you have not yet contacted your senators, please call them TODAY or MONDAY before they head back to Springfield on Tuesday for the final week of veto session. Ask them to vote yes on SB520.

The Rental Housing Support Program bill (S.B. 520) would create a state-funded rental assistance program to provide subsidies directly to landlords who would make housing affordable to households earning less than $19,000 a year. The program would be funded through an $11* charge on real estate recordings.

 

  • House amendment increased the charge from $10 to $11

Thank you to everyone who has made calls in support of this legislation.
