Home in Tacoma for All: A Community Forum

  • Evergreen Tacoma 1210 South 6th Avenue Tacoma, WA, 98405 United States (map)

Tacoma area rents rose 22% last year, forcing thousands of families out of our city or into homelessness. The profit-driven housing industry has failed us. Wall Street speculators, big landlords, and developers all benefit from the housing shortage, hiking prices to gouge working people. Without major public-sector investments, Tacoma's housing crisis will only worsen.

Join us for a grassroots gathering to discuss real policy solutions to the housing affordability crisis, and to build a movement to win. Hear from housing justice organizers, people experiencing housing insecurity, community leaders, and your neighbors.

We are petitioning Tacoma City Council to pass the HOME IN TACOMA FOR ALL Platform as part of their “Home in Tacoma Phase 2,” which will be voted on early next year. We must treat housing as a human right, not a commodity to enrich the big landlords, developers, and fossil fuel corporations.
