"Nowhere is that felt more profoundly in Maryland than in Howard County, where the median monthly mortgage in 2024 surged to $3,600 before taxes, insurance and fees, the highest in the state." www.thebanner.com/community/ho...

"Housing needs to be available and affordable at every price point so that we can attract and retain residents and businesses that enable economic growth,” said Maryland Comptroller @brookelierman.bsky.social news.maryland.gov/dhcd/2025/07....

Thank you to Coalition members who showed up last week with @govwesmoore.bsky.social in support of affordable housing!

“The reality is simple folks – without housing, we cannot solve the housing affordability crisis,” -Jake Day MD Secretary of Housing marylandmatters.org/2025/09/04/n...

"The nationwide housing shortage has driven rents up more in low-income neighborhoods than in the U.S. overall, but in areas that have recently added large amounts of housing, rents have fallen the most in lower-income neighborhoods with older buildings" www.pew.org/en/research-...

"It’s not just our people who are hurting, It’s Maryland’s housing market and economy. If we want to build new bridges to wealth, bring down costs...we need to prioritize housing that’s affordable and located near jobs and transportation." @govwesmoore.bsky.social marylandmatters.org/2025/08/16/m...

This Thursday join The Howard County Library System and Columbia Housing Center for an important discussion on housing and segregation. howardcounty.librarycalendar.com/event/cycle-...

Grace Kubofcik is remembered as a gentle and well-informed advocate who always tried to do the right thing. Her family planted a tree in her memory at the Howard County Conservancy, where they will also host a celebration of life on 7/11 6-10 pm www.thebaltimorebanner.com/obituaries/g...

For a time, Duvall said, Howard County’s unaffordability affected predominantly low and moderate-income households. Now it has crept into the middle class, threatening to displace Howard’s young adults, as well as its service workers, small business owners www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/ho...

Yesterday, Howard County lost a great woman, Grace Kubofcik, one of our steering committee members. She was a tireless advocate for affordable housing and cared deeply about creating an inclusive community.

"Assigning blame for social problems to new development shields existing residents from their own responsibility for those problems, and perpetuates a reassuring but wrong idea that these problems can be solved at little cost or inconvenience to them.” ggwash.org/view/97978/t...

Send an email to [email protected] by 5/23 to express support for the Coalition's position: "Support APFO Review Committee's recommendation to end waiting periods for new housing. Exempt affordable housing from the surcharge and apply the new surcharge fees only to new market-rate housing."
