2. Pass HB 1110 – Missing Middle Housing. In addition to fighting price gouging, we need to increase the supply of housing to decrease upward price pressure! This action is brought to you by FUSE. HB 1110 would legalize medium-sized houses such as townhomes in cities with larger populations and densities, while requiring a certain percentage of those units to be affordable.
