Resolution calling on Governor Moore and the Maryland General Assembly to allocate $175 Million in the coming year to help an estimated 17,000 Maryland families avoid eviction.
As introduced, this bill would have codified double-digit rent increases and harmed hundreds of thousands of renters. During the legislative process, it was amended to incorporate many elements of the competing bill 16-23 (The HOME Act). In the final version, this bill created a rent stabilization program that meets the needs of both renters and landlords, and that will be a critical intervention to help address the County's housing crisis.
