  note = {From January 2025 to April 2026, Representative Strickland reintroduced the Basic Allowance for Housing Restoration Act (the BAH Restoration Act, the bill that would have raised the federal housing stipend for military families), questioned the Secretary of the Army about military housing investments, hosted a regional housing supply roundtable, and warned that housing costs were outpacing the federal military housing allowance. Then on January 9, 2026, she voted yes on House passage of the Affordable HOMES Act, a bill that would repeal the Department of Energy rule requiring better insulation, air sealing, and heating and cooling efficiency in newly built manufactured homes. Only 28 percent of House Democrats voted yes. Of the eight Washington Democrats in the U.S. House, only Strickland and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez voted yes. Three and a half months later, Strickland announced 850,000 dollars in federal grants for affordable housing in Tacoma.}
