2021 City of Olympia Affordable Housing Candidate Questionnaire

Voters need to know what candidates will do to address the growing affordable housing crisis in Olympia.

This candidate questionnaire was created in collaboration with a network of local housing advocates whose goal is to focus collaborative action to create, preserve, and diversify affordable and equitable housing through advocacy, education, and leadership.

South Puget Sound Habitat for Humanity is a 501c3 organization and does not endorse political candidates. But we hope that this questionnaire and the candidates’ responses will help you to determine the candidates’ positions on issues that are vital to the future of Olympia.
