Here is a letter about the housing crisis.

The Housing Trust Fund is Washington's largest and most effective tool for providing affordable homes for both working families and vulnerable individuals across the state. It has also produced thousands of jobs and millions of dollars in tax revenue. 
 
In her budget proposal for the next biennium, Governor Gregoire proposed funding the Housing Trust Fund at $40.8 million. On Monday, the House released its Capital Budget, allocating $60 million for the Housing Trust Fund.
 
Many of you have already taken action in support of the Housing Trust Fund this year, but now that the House budget proposal for the next biennium has been released, it’s time for us to again call on our legislators to remember that the Housing Trust Fund not only helps the most vulnerable, but helps create jobs and generates tax revenue. CLICK HEREto tell your legislators to fully fund the Housing Trust Fund today!

Alone but not Lonely

It seems that I am tied into interlocking conversations with people on all sides of me and with my blog readership.  Yesterday I wrote Many Things I Have Been #2  ( http://roominhouseblues.blogspot.com/2011/04/many-things-i-have-been-2.html ) in the morning. .  I wrote other things and did the tasks and errands of my day, including job searches. then in the evening I went to a "Mercy Night" a communal penance service (with private confession of course) in my parish.  I came home near the end of my roommate Scott's Bible study. Scott goes to Mars Hill, a conservative evangelical youth oriented church, and his perspective on some aspects of the bible is very different than my Catholic one, yet we focus more on what we have in common.   After the bible study Scott and KJ, who stayed, got into a conversation on various things.  I told them a little of what happened at Mercy Night. Then KJ asked a question.  I guess he...
