As a Maplewood Neighborhood resident, I am encouraged by Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler’s support to increase the funding for low-income housing tax credits. This funding has helped to provide for additional housing for some of the vulnerable people in our community.
In another year, the old Fish & Wildlife building in my neighborhood will become a day center for people currently without a home. It is not enough. These fellow citizens still need a place to go at night. Homelessness is multifaceted issue, not a one-size-fits-all, but it is all our concern. We simply must meet the need head on. Thanks to the congresswoman for her efforts to care about the vulnerable among us.
