Urge Gov Moore to stay the course on housing
Send a letter or email to Governor Wes Moore in support of the latest draft of the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Qualified Allocation Plans
The proposed change will require all applicants to include a modest number of permanent supportive housing units for households exiting homelessness (the greater of 5 units or 15% of projects). This Supportive Housing Supplemental explains the proposed policy.
Some very vocal affordable housing developers are opposing the requirement. Following a stakeholder forum last week The Baltimore Banner ran this story. We sent this Letter to the Editor in response.
As a service provider and affordable housing developer, Health Care for the Homeless applauds the proposed inclusion of Permanent Supportive Housing in all LIHTC projects – and the related “homelessness preference” should rental support and service dollars not be available for a particular project.
We understand that the Governor and Housing Secretary are fielding a lot of negativity. Let's ensure that those who support the policy (and we think it’s exactly the right policy at the right time) are communicating with him, too, in strong support.
Personalize this template letter to the Governor and include in the body of an email.
Letters should be emailed to Governor Wes Moore through…
- Chief of Staff Fagan Harris: fagan.harris2@maryland.gov
- Deputy Chief of Staff Shaina A. Hernandez: shaina.hernandez@maryland.gov
With CCs to…
- Housing Secretary Jacob Day: jake.day@maryland.gov
- Assistant Secretary of Homeless Solutions Danielle Meister: danielle.meister@maryland.gov
Only housing ends homelessness.
Please send to others who are supportive of this policy, encouraging people to adapt their own letters.
