NOVEMBER 2023
Meeting the Region’s Homeownership Needs:
Policies, Programs & Resources Addressing Affordable Homeownership
Date: November 29 | 8:30am – 12:00pm | Location: DC Housing Finance Agency (815 Florida Ave NW, Washington, DC 20001)
Homeownership is all the buzz right now, but what is the region doing to increase the supply of homes available and educate residents on ways to become homeowners? Designing programs and policies to help organizations break into the homeownership market is essential to addressing the racial wealth gap. In 2022, 74.6% of white households owned their home, compared to 45.3% of Black households – only a 3-point decrease in the gap since 1960. Homeownership is the number one way for residents to build their personal wealth and create a more equitable region. Through shared equity and cross-sector collaboration, we can begin to break down barriers – those stopping multifamily developers from constructing homeownership opportunities, as well as those holding residents back from achieving their goals of homeownership. Join Manna Inc., and HAND on November 29 from 8:30AM-12:00PM to learn what jurisdictions are doing to assist developers in creating more homeownership opportunities, how they’re ensuring residents are mortgage ready, and what role government programs and policies play a key role in meeting these needs.

A Conversation with the Baltimore Region’s Housing Directors
Date: September 7 | 10:00am – 11:30am | Location: Virtual Webcast
Join HAND and Baltimore housing leaders for a demonstration and discussion of the Housing Indicator Tool (HIT) 3.0. In 2023, the HIT included five Baltimore jurisdictions for the first time! As the HIT continues to grow, HAND is committed to making sure it represents its members’ full footprint throughout Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia. It is important for users to know how to navigate the tool, and – more importantly – know how to put that data into actionable solutions. Each jurisdiction has unique obstacles to addressing the affordable housing crisis, but looking to how, where and why other jurisdictions have had success is a key first step in advocating for more equitable housing policies. After a demonstration of HIT 3.0, Baltimore housing leaders will discuss how to use the outcomes as starting points to address the need for more affordable housing in their respective jurisdictions and how everyone has a unique role to play as advocates in this industry.

Join the Baltimore Metropolitan Council‘s (BMC) Housing Committee and Affordability Preservation Task Force for their joint quarterly meeting on July 6th from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm. This virtual meeting will bring together stakeholders in the Baltimore area to discuss important housing-related topics.

The BMC’s Housing Committee serves as a platform for interaction and cooperative dialogue among stakeholders involved in implementing regional fair housing action plans in Baltimore. In addition to this important role, the committee also addresses the allocation of State affordable housing resources and addresses transportation/transit issues related to publicly assisted housing in the region. Furthermore, the committee is actively engaged in addressing housing-related matters stemming from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Don’t miss this opportunity to join the discussion and contribute to the advancement of fair and affordable housing in the Baltimore area.
