Really exciting to be in this room today—it was moving to hear from people from so many different sectors (including nurse and @Montgomery4All member Chris Vroome!) that we need housing action now. Kudos to lead sponsors @Andrew_Friedson and @NataliFGonzalez for leading the way!
I’m proud to introduce the More Housing N.O.W. bill—a comprehensive effort to expand workforce housing, convert vacant offices to homes, and double investments in homeownership. After months of collaboration and community input, this will keep Montgomery County competitive.

We are deeply disappointed by Councilmember Will Jawando’s statements on the Attainable Housing Strategies Initiative (AHSI). His statements fail to recognize the reality of our county’s housing...

This story https://t.co/D0Tctz9Y75 by @Harry_Stevens @WashingtonPost is the story of our Coalition for Smarter Growth’s @betterDCregion mission & success in the DC region. Teaming w. great partners, elected officials & gov staff, we’ve won dozens of 15-min walkable neighborhoods
washingtonpost.com
Building more 15-minute neighborhoods would cut pollution and conserve nature. But do Americans want to live in them? See how walkable your neighborhood is.
