Government Affairs and Affordable Housing Council

The Government Affairs and Affordable Housing Council is a vital initiative organized by the Kitsap Building Association that meets on the first Wednesday of each month. This council serves as the political action committee for the association, focusing on supporting housing-friendly candidates in Kitsap County through contributions. The meetings are exclusive to KBA members and are designed to facilitate discussions on key policy issues that impact the building industry and the community at large.Each month, attendees can expect to engage in fruitful discussions that provide timely updates and insights from local, state, and regional government representatives. The Government Affairs Committee emphasizes advocacy efforts that align with the goals of the construction industry and addresses systemic barriers related to housing affordability. With guest speakers often featured at these meetings, members gain access to expert knowledge and the opportunity to connect with local decision-makers. This committee serves as a critical resource for builders, developers, subcontractors, and suppliers, ensuring that they remain informed and can influence the regulatory environment affecting their businesses. Participation in the council not only promotes deeper engagement in the political landscape but also fosters a collaborative approach to supporting pro-housing policy initiatives.
