Excited to read about Enumclaw addressing affordable housing, in the town I student taught in and lived near for many years (Letter: “Enumclaw is addressing affordable housing”, published June 23).

Affordable housing is a crisis across America that needs addressing at all levels of government.

Maureen Schnell’s suggestion of renewing the expanded Child Tax Credit that reached 90% of families, along with a renter tax credit to keep low income renters housed, are excellent ideas. Each of us can help by encouraging our representatives in D.C. to pass these ladders out of poverty, along with encouraging local government to do their part.

Our voices can help put American on the road to equity for all!
