In this year’s Maryland legislative session, CSG has helped get some promising housing and transportation bills through the Maryland House and Senate – and we’re still tracking others that may need a push. 

In 2022, CSG, Montgomery for All, Action in Montgomery, and other organizations teamed up to rally for co-locating affordable housing with a redeveloped Chevy Chase Library—and won. Now, in 2026, we need to speak up once again.

Spring is here! 🌸 And with it comes many upcoming opportunities to take action all over Montgomery County—some new, and some familiar.

Join CSG on May 13th for the 2026 Livable Communities Leadership Award & Reception. Celebrate visionary changemakers who are advancing sustainable, walkable, and equitable communities across the region!
