Dear MAHC Members and Friends,

Happy New Year and congratulations to everyone who was awarded Tax Credits in the latest round.  It looks like 2016 is already shaping up to be a busy year.  With Housing Day just a month away, I urge you to join us in Annapolis on February 18, 2016 to show our legislators how many people care about affordable housing and how important it is to the Maryland economy.  The Capital Budget is out, and we have our work cut out for us - the Governor's budget only provides $10 Million for Rental Housing Works and our goal is $25 Million.  We need you to help us make the case for additional funds.  Please register to attend Housing Day and bring your staff, consultants and residents so that we can fill up the room.  I hope to see you there on February 18^th!                                                                                                                                                   

~Chickie Grayson

The 2016 Legislative Session is just getting underway, and the Governor is set to release his budget this week, so this month we'll be talking about the State Budget Outlook at our Brown Bag Lunch session.  Join us on January 27, 2016 from 12:00 to 1:30 pm at the Enterprise Office in Columbia to hear from Ben Orr, Executive Director of the Maryland Center for Economic Policy, about the State's budget outlook for next year followed by an update and discussion of the Governor's Budget, MAHC's budget priorities for 2016 and any proposed legislation that might impact our industry.  Go HERE to register to attend.

Thanks to everyone who attended our Holiday Party - a great time was had by all!
