Affordable Housing advocates push lawmakers for action

Affordable Housing advocates push lawmakers for action MGN Online BOISE, Idaho (KIFI) - Idaho’s Affordable Housing advocates are urging the Joint Finance Appropriations Committee and the state legislature to act quickly on emergency rental assistance funds. 39 agencies signed a letter to lawmakers Monday. Idaho was allocated $164 million in the most recent federal relief package to help Idahoans who have been financially impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. The advocates say that funding will play a pivotal part in ensuring those people are stably and safely housed through 2021. Approval of the full allocation has been delayed. The advocates say continued delay or failure to approve the funding will result in “devastating consequences for Idaho’s renters, landlords, and the economy.”
