HNRI supports Question 2! This $120 million affordable housing and homeownership bond will expand access to affordable homes, create homeownership opportunities, and strengthen communities across our state.

Special thanks to my Treasury team for their work on RI AnchorHome. Since Dec 2025, this initiative has helped nearly 60 families achieve the dream of homeownership. We remain committed to investing in RI’s future and expanding opportunity for all. ⚓️ @HousingNetwrkRI

Congratulations to former House Speaker @JoeShekarchi, who was honored with the Housing Elevation Award from @HousingNetwrkRI. He was unanimously selected in recognition of his work to address Rhode Island's housing shortage, including passage of historic housing legislation and establishment the state's first dedicated affordable housing funding stream.

She also had leaders of local community development organizations at the House session as her guests: Melina Lodge from @HousingNetwrkRI, Frank Shea from @wdchoc, Daynah Williams from @NWBRV, and Collin Penney from South County Habitat for Humanity.
The resolution, which recognizes and thanks these organizations for their tremendous contributions to the viability of the housing stock, infrastructure, public services, and the economic well-being of the state of Rhode Island is online: webserver.rilegislature.gov/…

There is no community in Rhode Island where a household earning less than a $100,000 a year can afford to buy a home, or where a household earning less than $50,000 a year can afford the average two-bedroom apartment, @HousingNetwrkRI's Melina Lodge said.
