The Maryland Senate EEE committee has amended the Housing Development Act to remove the vesting provision. All that remains is housing targets and a task force.
The bill will likely go back to the House to see if the body will concur with the Senate amendments. #MDHousing
Governor Moore's Housing Development Act (formerly Housing for Jobs) is before the Senate EEE committee as HB503.
Please ask the Senators on this committee to retain the vesting provision that allows housing projects to move forward with certainty!

Happy Halloween! 🎃
If you want to get some screams today, try showing up to a local hearing in our costume suggestion. Guarantee you'll scare at least a few people 😉

Join me at @HUDgov on Nov 20 (10-noon) for a panel on Transit-Oriented Development and Affordable Housing production. Yeah, I'm on the panel, but trust me there will be far more interesting people there :) If you can't be there in person, join virtually! planetizen.com/event/132282-…

Our neighbors in Montgomery are having important discussions on ending exclusionary zoning in their Attainable Housing Strategies. ggwash.org/view/97339/montgo…

The only thing better than Americans knowing that we need to build more homes is knowing that it's only a matter of time before they start advocating for the policies that will get us there 😎

The APFO committee's first public hearing is soon -- a prime opportunity for housing advocates to make clear that we need APFO changes that support all of the housing development approved in HoCo by Design.

Folks’ lived experience suggest that a healthy community would have choices…

I keep having this conversation where people PRESUME (because the narrative has been screamed at them) that no one wants more housing in their community. But the data is solid. Voters recognize the link between supply and affordability AND they want government leaders to fix it.
I'm in @marylandmatters on how it isn't your parents' housing politics anymore. Per @ggwash & @YouGov polling: voters want local&state gov't to do what @GovWesMoore & @jacobrday did & work together (42%) OR for the state to step in if locals don't take steps to lower costs (31%).

"Too often, explanations center around identifying a villain: Greedy developers, private equity companies, racist neighbors, gentrifiers, or corrupt politicians. These stories aren't always false, but they don’t speak to root causes."

Yep.
“Local government is driving a housing crisis that is raising rents, lowering economic mobility and productivity, and negatively impacting wages.”

The YIMBY movement is taking center stage in national politics 🔥
We're seeing more wins across the US because of the hard work of our activists. But we're not done yet.
We need all hands on deck if we are going to end the housing shortage.
