I was proud to join @MayorJenny today as she signed the Citywide Mandatory Housing Affordability legislation into law! Thank you to @CMTMosqueda , @CMMikeOBrien , and all of the housing advocates who joined us for this historic occasion.

[Rob Johnson @CMRobJohnson]

Thank you to everyone, from City staff and housing advocates, to my Council colleagues and thousands of community members, who made this achievement possible. Together, we are building a Seattle that is affordable and inclusive for everyone.

Today we will cast our final vote on Citywide MHA! As we prepare for this historic vote, I want to share a few more stories of people who benefit from affordable housing along with helpful background on what affordable housing means for Seattle: https://t.co/iJ3IGLNtjq

"City life means more access to climate-friendly transportation options — not just buses and trains, but the convenience of walking and cycling to places like schools, shopping and jobs."

Thanks to @SierraClubSEA for making the environmental case for MHA: https://t.co/u4lKchEqNW

Let’s move past process & take action to build more homes for our neighbors & invest in affordable housing we desperately need. Let's finally pass Citywide MHA to live up to our goals as an equitable & livable city for all. Read my op-ed in @seattletimes:

The roads have cleared and the snow has thawed, but many of our unsheltered neighbors continue to struggle staying warm and well fed. Join me in participating in #PostStormDonationDay - anything helps!

[Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda @CMTMosqueda]

Remember! Today is *Post Storm Donation Day* don’t forget to donate items to your local food bank. Links to those locations and the Facebook event below. Thanks to @Q13FOX for getting the word out & thanks to all of you for helping out our most vulnerable

Devastated to learn that a UW student slipped on ice and passed away. As more snow is in our forecast, let's do our small part by keeping the sidewalks in front of our homes clear and assisting our neighbors who might need our help. https://t.co/VWaseez2Cz

Eli's Park Project is a great example of community members making meaningful change in our neighborhood. Head over to Burke Gilman Playground Park tomorrow evening to learn more about design ideas for the new park and for a lantern walk at dusk. https://t.co/6dCAprXJpf

I had a great time at the @UrbanistOrg Monthly Meetup last night! Thank you to all who came. Check out their summary of MHA by @HDC_SeaKC which lays out why we need to adopt Citywide MHA soon to invest in more desperately needed affordable housing. https://t.co/wYQfN0pC0m
