About the Group
An Affordable Housing Working Group was appointed by the County Executive via EO-2024-08. The Working Group is tasked with recommending goals and criteria for a targeted incentive program for affordable and accessible housing in the County. The group will also provide recommendations regarding the use of affordable housing allocations outlined in the County’s Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance (APFO) housing unit allocation chart.
The establishment of the Affordable Housing Working Group reflects our commitment to providing a full spectrum of housing opportunities in Howard County. As we face an ongoing housing crisis across our country, the Working Group will help address our local housing challenges and propose policies that will expand housing options for individuals and families who seek to live and work here.
