HB 1301 - DIGEST

Recognizes that housing affordability has become a significant problem for a large portion of society in many parts of the state in recent years. To address this problem, there is a need to allocate funding from the surcharge of ten dollars per instrument charged by the county auditor for each document recorded as established under RCW 36.22.178, to provide low-income persons with rent vouchers to pay for permanent, multifamily and single-family, for-profit, rental housing not supported in any manner by government funding.
