When we talk about affordable housing, I think that means different things to different people. When I hear from folks who are renting a room, which is not covered or protected by anyone, for $800 and they get there and find out that the other half has been rented to a stranger and that’s just how it is; when we have folks who are survivors of human trafficking, and I find out from victim services and from the different support agencies that there isn’t safe housing for them to go to, which, of course, puts them in danger of having to return to that world—transitional housing, supportive housing really does have to take the shape of its community; they are such different specific needs, and people are at different stages of recovery or healing. What is this bill going to do to reassure communities that that type of housing, that supportive wraparound service, will be there for them?
