“In my home state, one in four people are spending upwards of 50% of their income or more on housing. This is our reality, and the reality we’re passing on to our kids and grandkids.That’s why I’ve been fighting to solve this problem with a series of housing bills that just passed the Senate.The legislation I’ve introduced will right size red tape, speed up the permitting process so housing projects can get to construction much faster, and unlock opportunities for housing that’s actually affordable for working families,”outlined Senator Kim.
