Leader Michael Chippendale joins Gene Valicenti to discuss the low and moderate income housing proposals being presented by advocacy groups to the House Commission along with the large monetary allocations associated with these efforts.

"To assert institutional racism in our cities and towns and not admit that a portion of our homeless are trapped due to addiction disorder, mental health issues that go untreated, etc., is a huge disservice. And to ignore that 46% of the homeless population have zero income-- that alone tells us that most of these folks aren't well enough to seek available services or attain jobs. To have these omissions in their presentations is not policy work."

About rhode island house republicans

In 1636, Roger Williams, founder of Rhode Island, established the first working model of Democracy after being banished from Massachusetts for his “extreme views” concerning freedom of speech and religion. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams publicly acknowledged Williams as the originator of these concepts, along with the freedom of public assembly, in the First Amendment in the United States Constitution. Today, Rhode Island House Republicans uphold the liberties designed by our Founders and preserved in our Constitution, and are the primary legislative body promoting lean government, fighting for lower taxes, and advocating for initiatives and policies that improve the economy and in turn, the lives of Rhode Islanders. As members of a part-time assembly, we are small business owners, retired educators, community activists, lawyers, farmers, military service veterans, volunteers, former local officials, retired social workers, coaches, musicians, churchgoers and board directors -- bringing these community engagement and professional experiences to our work, on your behalf, at the Rhode Island State House.
