Support these three key Maryland housing bills!
Maryland has a housing shortage, and is losing residents to other states where housing is more affordable. The following bills can help change this trajectory by ensuring our communities can build homes that truly reflect the diversity of needs of Maryland residents.
Central Avenue-Blue/Silver Line Sector Plan factsheet
The Preliminary Central Avenue-Blue/Silver Line Sector Plan outlines a long-term vision to guide the development of Inner-Beltway communities along Central Avenue, through the year 2045.
MD 214 Pedestrian Safety Action Plan factsheet

This worthy project could bring 250 affordable apartment homes to a vacant site that is only a quarter-mile walk to the Suitland Metro Station.
