Thanks to Rep @TanaSenn and others including @waDCYF, @TreehouseTweets, and @ArcofKingCounty. #WALEG #HealthEquity
Every night, millions of Americans go to sleep without a place to call home. That’s why I requested funding for community projects like @AfricatownCLT’s Walker St project and @ArcofKingCounty 's Arc Legacy Center that will help improve access to affordable housing in WA's Ninth.
This #DisabilityPrideMonth, we must recognize the unique challenges & experiences of the disability community. Thats why I'm advocating for federal funding for @ArcofKingCounty’s efforts to promote housing stability for the intellectual & development disability (IDD) community.
.@seattletimes - SB 5440 would prohibit jail and juvenile detention facilities from discontinuing psychiatric medication and require courts to first consider diversion programs for people with nonfelony charges before sending them to a state hospital for inpatient services.
