Dear Friends and Neighbors,
New Resource: Rental and Utilities Assistance for Pierce County Residents
(Renters AND Landlords)
I am thrilled to share a new resource: rental and utilities assistance for Pierce County residents overdue on rent and/or utility bills. Eligible utilities include electric, water, sewer, gas, garbage pickup, fuel oil and internet.
Renters could be eligible for up to 12-months of rental assistance based on need. To be eligible, applicants must fall under 80% Area Median Income (AMI), have been impacted by COVID-19, have overdue rent and/or utilities, and live in Pierce County, including the City of Tacoma.

Recovery from the pandemic remains one of my top priorities. As we continue to pursue solutions for economic recovery and housing, I am ecstatic that this local resource is available today.
If you need any assistance navigating this resource, please reach my office at T’wina.Nobles@leg.wa.gov, or by calling 360-786-7654
Half-way Update
With the legislative session halfway through, it has been an eventful February.
Last week, we were hard at work voting on bills that have made it out of committee.
In preparation for floor action, I have been talking with constituents from the 28th about the community’s concerns and I am confident that we’re making progress towards strengthening our district.
I remain committed to serving the 28th in the best way I know how: through learning, listening, and amplifying the needs and concerns of the community.

Please tune in on March 23rd at 6:30 PM on Facebook LIVE as I share How to Track a Bill.
Understanding the process by which legislation is created and ultimately passed is not inherently intuitive.
That’s why I’m excited to share what I have learned about the bill process.
