Thank you so much Rep Judkins for your determination and support for such an important issue. So many people will be helped by this legislation! Thank you Senator Cullimore for taking this bill to the finish line. Thank you to all stakeholders who worked on this bill. #utpol

Thousands of housing advocates are tuning into tonight's #SOTU! We are hoping that Pres. Biden will take his time to address the #StateofHousing. It's a perfect time to highlight how we will create & maintain quality, affordable, accessible homes for those w/ the lowest income.
