Maryland Housing Day is an annual event sponsored by the Maryland Affordable Housing Coalition<\/a> to remind lawmakers of the importance of affordable housing to the state’s economy. Members of the coalition include developers, contractors, lenders, investors, architects, engineers and property managers, as well as local governments, housing authorities and community organizations. The coalition is an alliance of more than 185 businesses and organizations involved in the affordable rental housing industry.<\/p>\n

Secretary Holt remains committed to expanding housing and community development opportunities through programs such as the recently announced Project C.O.R.E.<\/a> Project C.O.R.E.’s holistic approach will create even more opportunities for affordable rental housing and support economic recovery in Baltimore City, Secretary Holt said.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the administration’s new student debt initiative, Secretary Holt described a unique plan to combine a potential home buyer’s student loan debt with their mortgage of a department-owned property, enabling monthly savings and increased accumulation of home equity.<\/p>\n

“Economic development is the keystone of the Hogan administration’s platform to change Maryland for the better,” Secretary Holt said.<\/div>\n
