Ivy Dench-Carter, MAHC President, reviewed MAHC's accomplishments in 2015 and priorities for the next year, which include getting more nonprofits involved with MAHC Committees.

State Budget UpdateThank you to our Members who responded to our Action Alert and reached out to members of the Board of Public Works to oppose the $1 Million cut to the Rental Housing Program budget. Unfortunately, the BPW voted unanimously to approve the proposed total of $7 Million in cuts to DHCD programs, including $1 Million from Rental Housing Programs (RHW), $1 Million from Partnership Rental Housing Program, $500,000 from Housing and Building Energy Programs, $1 Million from Community Legacy, and $500,000 from Neighborhood Business Development, among other cuts. The 2017 Legislative Session is more important than ever to ensure that Rental Housing Works is adequately funded and able to provide funds to the 26 projects currently in DHCD's pipeline awaiting RHW funding. The 2017 Maryland Legislative Session begins at Noon on January 11, 2017. Action Alert - Federal Tax ReformThis is an important update from the Housing Advisory Group: We are almost a week removed from the election, and thus have had time to catch up with congressional staff and colleagues in the industry. These ongoing conversations have a common theme: Tax reform, once considered an elusive legislative goal, now is much more of a political and legislative reality with the election of President-elect Trump and the House and Senate both controlled by Republicans. Maryland Elected Officials Contact Information can be found HERE. Register For These December EventsThe brown bag lunch series continues to provide learning opportunities for our members. In November, we learned how PACE Financing can be used to fund multifamily deals. On December 9, 2016 from 9:30am - 12:00pm we will be holding our first Bond Finance 201 session in Greenbelt, MD to discuss more advanced bond financing structures. Also in December, we have a Brown Bag Lunch scheduled for December 15, 2016 from 12:00 - 1:30pm at South River Restoration in Upper Marlboro. This event is geared to property owners and managers, and we will discuss emergency preparedness and making sure managers and owners have a game plan in place to address any emergency that may arise at your site.
