Sen. Maria Cantwell visited Vancouver on Wednesday to advocate for increases to a federal program that encourages construction of affordable housing units.
Speaking at subsidized apartment complex Caples Terrace which she last visited for its ribbon cutting two years ago Cantwell called for a 50 percent increase to the nation’s Low Income Affordable Housing Tax Credit program, as part of the country’s upcoming infrastructure package.
