OLYMPIA – As budget negotiations begin in the state Legislature, calls for affordable housing action and rent caps from the annual Housing and Homelessness Advocacy Day were heard by lawmakers.

Dozens of people rallied on the steps of the state capitol Tuesday afternoon to push for rent control measures that would cap annual rent increases at 5%.
