Senator Cantwell has long supported funding for HUD’s housing and homelessness grants, including the CDBG, HOME, and HOPWA programs. She has also prioritized investment in affordable housing, helping to secure nearly $3 billion in additional affordable housing funding in March 2018 and introducing legislation earlier this year to increase investment in affordable housing and provide more resources and stronger protections for at-risk groups.
