The Attainable Housing Act Passed! What’s Next?
On Monday, October 7th, the Anne Arundel County Council voted to pass the Attainable Housing Act! This policy will require new housing developments to set aside 10 to 15% of units for people with moderate incomes. It will expand the types of housing that can be built in different regions of the county, including duplexes and townhomes, to provide more reasonably priced housing options.
This new law is a huge win for making housing more affordable for our families, seniors, essential workers, and young people, and building a community where we will all thrive.
What’s next? ACT will continue to work towards solutions to create more affordable housing and protect renters’ rights. Our work has just begun. Let’s celebrate!
Feel free to contact the Housing Team co-chairs Linda Hanifin Bonner or Bonnie Henderson, for additional information.
