I also would like to thank the chairman. In my home State of Washington. the IRS action has threatened a number of innovative housing developments. involving housing for pregnant women. housing for disabled military veterans. and housing for artists that are being used as part of a larger redevelopment strategy to rebuild neighborhoods. The IRS action has been particularly problematic for State efforts to deal with the critical need increase the supply of safe. decent. and affordable housing for migrant and seasonal farm workers. About 10 years ago. Washington established a Farm Worker Housing Program that has led to the creation and preservation of over 1.065 units of permanent housing for farm workers.
