A
All
right:
well,
we
all
set
good
good
morning.
Everyone
I
am
thrilled
to
be
here
today
to
share
Baltimore
County's
next
steps
in
a
more
modern,
Equitable
and
inclusive
housing.
Future
first
I
want
to
thank
director,
Terry
hickey
and
his
entire
dhcd
team
for
their
leadership
on
behalf
of
our
residents
on
this
issue,
along
with
our
administrative
officer,
Stacy
Rogers,
both
of
whom
join
us
today.
A
I
also
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
on
the
County
Council
who
were
able
to
join
us
today,
including
County
Council,
chairman
Julian,
Jones
and
councilman
Pat
young,
for
their
commitment
and
their
support
of
these
efforts.
You'll
hear
from
both
of
them
today
as
well.
I
also
want
to
thank
Claudia
Wilson
Randall,
the
executive
director
of
the
Community
Development
network
of
Maryland
and
Ned
Howe,
who
is
the
vice
president
for
Enterprise
homes
for
joining
us
today,
as
well
as
the
many
other
champions
in
our
communities?
Who
will
help
make
this
effort
possible?
A
Baltimore
County.
We
have
not
only
a
legal
obligation
but
a
moral
imperative
to
ensure
that
our
neighbors
have
access
to
Safe,
affordable
and
Equitable
housing,
and
despite
progress
on
this
front,
we
recognize
that
Baltimore
County
still
has
a
lot
of
work
to
do
to
rise
above
the
tragic
and
unfortunate
policies
of
redlining
and
housing
segregation
that
is
defined
much
of
the
past
Century.
A
Since
taking
office,
we
have
fought
to
make
that
vision
of
truly
attainable
housing
a
reality
after
prior
unsuccessful
attempts
by
the
former
Administration
we
finally
passed
the
home
act,
ending
the
practice
of
housing
discrimination
by
source
of
income,
then,
in
the
midst
of
a
global
pandemic
that
reminded
us
just
how
fragile
housing
can
be.
We
established
the
County's
first
Department
of
Housing
and
Community
Development
under
the
leadership
of
director
hickey.
A
The
department
has
already
taken
many
significant
strides
forward,
including
progress
in
fulfilling
our
obligations
to
the
County's
voluntary
compliance
agreements
with
HUD,
providing
millions
of
eviction,
prevention
to
help
families
stay
in
their
homes
and
much
much
more.
Today,
we
are
proud
to
announce
a
legislative
package
that
represents
our
latest
steps
in
this
critical
work.
A
First,
we
plan
to
formally
establish
the
Baltimore
County
Housing
opportunities
fund.
This
dedicated
fund
will
support
the
development
and
protection
of
attainable
units
across
Baltimore
County.
We
will
be
joining
the
vast
majority
of
our
neighboring
jurisdictions
in
establishing
a
Permanent
Fund,
a
permanent
funding
mechanism
to
support
these
projects.
A
A
A
These
overdue
changes
will
Empower
us
to
begin
the
work
of
transforming
vacant
and
abandoned
sites
into
the
rental
and
home
opener
Home
Ownership
opportunities
of
the
future,
and
we
need
to
do
more.
We
need
to
do
more
and
have
more
of
these
opportunities,
because,
unfortunately,
too
many
of
our
neighbors
are
struggling
to
become
homeowners,
they're,
working,
full-time
and
they're,
raising
their
families
here,
but
they've
had
to
put
that
American
Dream
On
Hold,
because
they
simply
cannot
afford
a
home
right
now.
A
A
A
At
the
same
time,
we
need
and
want
to
do
more
for
families
who
are
looking
to
grow
or
for
our
seniors,
who
deserve
to
age
in
place
with
dignity,
to
meet
the
needs
of
our
modern
families
in
Baltimore
County.
We
also
propose
modernizing
our
laws
so
that
homeowners,
with
accessory
dwelling
units
Apartments
connected
to
their
property,
can
offer
more
family
members
the
chance
to
live
within
those
units
and
finally
be
able
to
collect
rent
for
those
living
there.
A
This
will
especially
Empower
our
seniors,
who
are
often
unable
to
stay
in
these
units,
now
even
more
opportunities
to
stay
connected
and
age
comfortably,
along
with
their
loved
ones.
Together,
these
efforts
represents
represent
our
next
steps
to
transform
Baltimore
County
into
a
model
of
growth
and
inclusivity,
because
we
know
housing
does
not
exist
in
a
vacuum.
It's
a
foundational
building
block
that
empowers
our
neighbors
to
access
everything
Baltimore
County
has
to
offer.
A
While
these
policies
announced
today
are
a
critical
Next
Step,
they
will
not
be
our
last
we'll
continue
to
look
at
steps
building
on
this
work,
including
the
exploration
of
efforts
like
an
official
land,
baking,
banking,
Authority
and
in
the
years
ahead.
We'll
continue
to
do
all
that
we
can
to
literally
build
a
better
and
stronger
Baltimore
County.
A
Together,
we
will
ensure
that
the
historical
inequities
in
Baltimore
County's
housing
system
become
a
thing
of
the
past
and
that
our
future
is
brighter
and
fairer
for
all
of
our
families.
I
want
to
thank
for
the
opportunity
and
for
being
here
today
with
that
I
will
turn
things
over
to
Terry
hickey,
the
director
of
our
Department
of
Housing
and
Community
Development.
B
I
do
want
to
start
by
thanking
our
County
Executive
from
day.
One
he's
recognized
the
need
to
rethink
how
the
county
addresses
the
ever-growing
housing
shortage
in
the
county.
He
also
understands
the
importance
of
action
and
has
consistently
provided
the
leadership
and
the
resources
to
build
a
strategic
approach
to
expanding
housing
opportunities
in
Baltimore.
County
I
want
to
recognize
my
team
at
the
Department
of
Housing
and
Community
Development
eyewitness
firsthand
the
work
our
staff
perform
every
day
to
address
homelessness,
protect
at-risk
renters
and
create
new
opportunities
for
housing
for
our
most
vulnerable
residents.
B
Actions
taken
by
this
Administration
in
the
shadow
of
a
pandemic
have
led
us
to
this
moment
includes,
as
the
county
executive
said,
the
passage
of
the
home
Act,
the
creation
of
dhcd
itself
and
the
convening
of
the
affordable
housing
work
group.
While
it
would
be
convenient
to
blame
covid-19
for
a
number
of
our
housing
challenges.
B
County
residents
of
all
incomes,
ages
and
backgrounds
are
struggling
every
day
to
find
housing
to
afford
what
little
is
available
out
there
and
to
hold
on
to
their
existing
homes
amidst
Rising
costs.
In
a
myriad
of
other
challenges,
faced
with
a
threat
of
coveted
related
housing,
instability,
Baltimore
County
and
the
team
at
dhcd
Rose
to
the
challenge,
creating
a
model
program
in
a
matter
of
months
that
leveraged
over
a
hundred
and
ten
million
dollars
to
prevent
thousands
of
evictions
of
Baltimore
County
families.
Now
the
focus
will
continue
to
shift
to
the
need
for
new
housing.
B
We
will
not
sit
on
the
sidelines
and
allow
this
growing
crisis
to
go
unchecked.
The
recommendations
of
the
affordable
housing
work,
Group,
convened
by
the
county
executive
and
released
last
year,
make
it
clear
that
the
county
needs
more
efficient
procedures
to
invest
in
housing,
a
more
streamlined,
Bolder,
more
creative
ways
to
incentivize
Housing
Development
as
part
of
community
revitalization
and
economic
growth,
while
ensuring
all
members
of
our
community
have
access
to
Safe,
secure
housing,
advancing
the
policies
that
we're
announcing
today,
in
collaboration
with
our
partners
in
the
city,
council
and
other
stakeholders.
B
It's
an
important
step
towards
those
goals.
This
legislative
package
represents
the
first
of
many
steps
forward
for
Baltimore
County,
demonstrating
a
deep
commitment
to
the
creation
of
new
housing
opportunities
and
providing
the
actual
Common
Sense
effective
tools
to
really
make
it
happen.
Thank
you
and
with
that
I'm
going
to
announce
a
colleague,
councilman
Julian,
Jones
Council
chair.
Thank
you
sure.
C
Good
morning,
everyone
I
am
first
I,
guess
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
the
county
executive
as
well
as
director
hickey
for
their
steadfast
leadership
on
this
issue.
Housing
without
a
doubt
is
a
human
right
is
very
important
that
when
we
talk
about
housing,
we
talk
about
the
whole
Spectrum
from
those
that
are
the
most
vulnerable
to
those
that
are
working
each
and
every
day,
trying
to
raise
a
family
and
just
finding
housing
too
unaffordable.
C
All
of
these
steps
at
the
end
of
the
day
will
prevent
many
of
our
families
from
ending
up
at
the
most
vulnerable
place,
they've
ever
been
in
their
life
and
I,
hope
and
I.
Don't
wish
it
on
anyone
ending
up
in
one
of
our
shelters.
So
this
is
what
this
is
all
about.
You
have
to
work
on
the
entire
Spectrum
to
make
sure
people
have
affordable
housing,
so
I.
C
D
Thank
you,
Mr
Council,
chairman
and
I'd
like
to
Echo
the
thanks
to
the
account
executive
and
his
staff
and
the
director
hickey
for
the
work
that
you
and
your
staff
have
put
in
to
making
this
package
a
reality.
It's
been
a
long
time
coming
and
has
been
discussed
and
has
been
waited
for
by
many
residents
of
Baltimore
County
that
recognize
that
this
is
not
a
new
need
that
this
is
not
a
new
challenge
but
has
been
ongoing
and
has
asked
the
question:
If
Not
Us
Then
Who.
D
I'd
like
to
say
that,
in
my
experience
oftentimes,
we
will
try
and
fight
a
narrative,
a
negative
narrative
about
who
it
is
that
we
want
who
people
think
that
we're
trying
to
serve
through
this
and
I
want
to
reiterate
that.
My
belief
is
that
we
are
helping
veterans
that
are
returning
home
and
want
to
live
here.
D
We're
Helping
Seniors
that
want
options
to
continue
to
live
here
and
single
parent
households
that
want
to
raise
their
kids
here
and
we're
talking
about
First,
Responders
and
folks
that
are
leaving
college
that
want
to
work
and
live
here
and
raise
a
family
here.
These
are
the
folks
that
we're
helping
through
this
package
and
as
the
county
executive,
went
through
the
list.
D
I.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
One
support
this
I
look
forward
to
working
with
my
colleagues
and
the
chairman
on
the
council.
Our
work
begins
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
it
did
not
come
here
to
sit
down,
came
here
to
do
the
hard
work
and
work
with
the
community
to
make
sure
that
it
happens
with
that.
I
will
pass
it
to
Claudia
Wilson
Randall,
the
executive
director
of
Community
Development
and
network
for
Maryland.
Thank
you.
E
Good
morning
and
thank
you
so
much
for
the
opportunity
to
be
here
and
talk
about
the
century.
Thank
you
so
much.
The
council
bore
your
leadership
in
this
issue:
the
county
executive
for
your
leadership
in
this
issue.
On
behalf
of
the
Community
Development
network
of
Maryland.
It
is
a
pleasure
to
be
with
you
here
to
celebrate
this
foundational
new
housing
legislation
and
reforms
being
proposed
today.
Maryland
needs
bold
leadership
that
makes
committed
investment
in
affordable
and
Equitable
housing.
E
Opportunity
to
grow
opportunity
to
thrive,
opportunity
to
age
opportunity
to
get
an
education
opportunities
of
all
sorts
too
many
residents
and
young
families
are
caught
in
the
cycle
of
endless
renting,
without
any
hope
for
ownership
in
the
future
or
moving
to
a
better
school
area
or
moving
up
in
in
any
sort
of
having
any
more
sort
of
more
mobility
in
their
lives.
This
legislative
packages
aims
to
change
that
it's
one
piece
and
one
tool
in
a
vast
number
of
pieces
needed
in
the
county
to
move
forward
on
this
issue.
E
These
reforms
are
more
than
just
an
update,
but
to
the
law.
They
are
real
and
sustainable
tools
that
will
directly
help
families
in
Baltimore
County,
the
dedicated
fund,
opportunities
for
seniors
and
incentives
for
affordable
and
attainable
housing
will
improve
health
and
economic
development
for
the
county.
It's
fewer
will
face
eviction,
food
insecurity
and
even
homelessness.
E
Because
of
this
proposed
reforms,
more
essential
workers
will
be
able
to
achieve
the
dream
of
home
ownership
because
of
these
proposals
and
our
neighborhoods
and
communities,
businesses
and
families
will
be
stronger
because
of
of
new
Assets
in
the
community.
This
is
the
kind
of
find
foundational
reform
that
Maryland
needs
and
I'm
proud
to
see.
Baltimore
County
move
forward.
E
F
Thank
you
it's
great
to
be
here
with
the
county
executive,
his
team
council
members
and,
and
all
you
here
today
to
support
the
initiatives
he's
outlined
today
as
a
big
step
to
providing
greater,
affordable
housing
opportunities
for
the
residents
of
Baltimore
County
I'm
with
Enterprise
Community
Development,
an
organization
that
acquires
develops,
owns
and
operates
affordable
and
mixed
income
housing
portfolio
over
14
000
units
in
the
Mid-Atlantic
region.
Our
experience
goes
back
more
than
two
decades
in
this
County
and
with
approximately
1500
units
across
17
properties.
F
We
have
an
understanding
of
the
affordable
housing
needs
and
the
difficulties
in
meeting
those
needs
within
this
County.
This
work
is
extremely
difficult
resource
dependent
and
time
consuming
and
requires
a
true
collaboration
among
multiple
stakeholders.
So
when
the
county
executive
asks
us
to
participate
in
the
work
group
to
discuss
potential
policy
changes
and
initiatives
that
could
help
remove
some
of
the
historic
barriers
that
have
restricted,
affordable
housing
production
of
this
County,
we
were
enthusiastic
participant.
F
We
are
truly
excited
to
see
when
a
local
government
starts
to
make
housing
affordability
a
real
priority,
with
actions
we're
also
very
excited
to
be
moving
forward
with
a
unique
new
development
in
the
Rosedale
area
of
Baltimore
County
that
will
create
120,
new
high
quality
energy
fishing,
housing
for
families,
seniors
and
residents
living
with
disabilities.
This
development
would
not
be
moving
forward
without
the
significant
support
of
this
Administration,
the
council
and
the
newly
created
Department
of
Housing
and
Community
Development,
for
which
we
are
truly
grateful.
F
Just
the
effort
to
create
a
Department
of
Housing
and
Community
Development,
where
one
did
not
exist,
shows
us.
The
administration's
acknowledgment
that
more
focus
is
needed
to
put
on
the
hat
is
needed
to
be
put
on
the
housing
issues
in
this
County.
Wrapping
up
I
would
just
like
to
say
that
Enterprise
Community
Development
looks
forward
to
continuing
our
partnership
with
the
county
and
to
find
ways
to
provide
its
residents
with
safe,
high
quality,
affordable
housing
that
they
can
be
proud
to
call
home.
A
We
have
some
sense.
We
actually
have
started
stating
this
as
part
of
our
our
BC
stat
process,
where
really,
as
we've
developed
this
definition,
we
also
have
been
measuring
out
utility
use
code,
complaints,
all
the
things
that
are
actually
factored
into
the
bill,
so
actually
using
that.
Having
that
BC
step,
that
studying
process
will
actually
helped
inform
some
of
the
legislative
work
on
this
front.
A
You
know:
we've
been
consistently
asked
to
reconsider
our
width
of
homes
from
the
development
Community.
We
think
that
the
legislation
we're
putting
forward
balances
that
request
with
the
need
to
have
more
affordability,
so
in
exchange
for
the
reduction
in
width,
we're
putting
in
an
affordability
component
into
the
legislation
that
we're
forwarding
without
compromising
quality
of
the
home.
A
Hopefully,
as
soon
as
it's
approved,
we
we
use,
as
you
know,
John
we
set
aside
16
million
dollars
of
our
federal
arpa
funding,
specifically
for
housing
opportunities.
As
soon
as
the
fund
is
established,
we
plan
to
put
that
money
in
there,
in
addition
to
ongoing
support
from
our
our
general
fund
and
capital
funding
in
the
years
ahead,
other
grants
and
awards.
It
really
is
an
opportunity
to
really
focus
in
on
this
work.
Sure.
A
Absolutely
I
mean
we
certainly
are
concerned
and
I'll.
Let
director
hickey
follow
up
on
that
particular
question.
We're
concerned
about
potential
tsunami
of
evictions
that
are
on
the
horizon,
as
Federal
support
dries
up
for
eviction
prevention.
We
certainly
want
to
continue
to
support
home
ownership.
We
believe
in
in
that
very
much
and
the
ability
to
to
build
wealth,
but
obviously
anything
we
can
do
locally
to
help
blunt.
Some
of
the
impact
that
we
want
to
do
this
package
assists
with
that.
A
In
addition,
I
joined
other
jurisdiction
leaders
and
advocates
in
sending
a
letter
to
the
governor
requesting
that
he
and
the
state
use
some
of
the
Surplus
funding
to
further
help
with
the
rental
assistance
and
I
don't
know
director.
If
you
want
to
speak
to
that
or
other.
B
County
Executive
did
great
job
I'm,
just
going
to
say
that
in
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic,
we
talked
about
the
looming
tsunami,
it
wasn't
an
accident,
it
didn't
happen
and
it
wasn't
just
because
of
the
funding
the
federal
government
made
available.
If
you
remember,
Baltimore,
County
and
other
jurisdictions
had
to
create
pretty
significant
infrastructures,
both
internally
and
with
our
non-profit
Partners.
The
key
isn't
just
to
have
money
out
there
to
help
with
rent.
B
The
key
is
to
have
an
infrastructure
for
people
that
are
experiencing
housing,
instability
to
be
able
to
go
and
work
through
more
individually,
their
issues,
that's
the
apparatus
we
need
to
keep
going
Statewide
because
we
spent
such
a
great
time
building
it.
We've
been
working
more
with
landlords,
we,
so
it's
a
more
cohesive
piece,
but
it
also
has
to
dovetail
into
this
conversation
about
increasing
the
housing
inventory.
We're
going
to
have
a
major
migration
across
the
county
and
people
realizing
through
the
pandemic.
B
A
B
So
now,
when
you
say
subsidized
housing,
so
the
county
dhcd
in
particular
use
of
this
fund
we're
an
investor
in
this.
So
when
people
talk
about
subsidies,
what
we're
talking
about
are
creative
investments
in
properties
that
allow
developers
to
create
different
levels
of
affordability
for
everybody
right.
So
it's
a
business
piece.
We
do
have
a
voucher
program
in
Baltimore
County,
we
don't
own
property
and
there
are
families
that
are
using
our
voucher
system
to
get
on
their
feet
and
find
the
success
that
Claudia
was
talking
about.
There's
a
major
wait
list.
B
B
B
Okay,
so
I'll
start
last
one.
First,
we
have
an
office
of
housing
that
works
directly
with
HUD.
We
don't
own
property,
we
don't
Manage
Property
and
if
you
notice,
all
of
these
tools
are
meant
for
us
to
work
within
a
system
to
increase
our
inventory
without
owning.
B
So
the
idea
of
a
Housing
Authority,
the
way
you
used,
it
isn't
isn't
tenable
based
on
this
plan,
going
back
to
the
first
one,
so
vacants,
if
you
think
about
it,
this
doesn't,
and
so
the
legislation
which
you'll
read
doesn't
include
language
as
it
relates
to
taking
or
forced
conveyance
of
properties.
B
We
have
a
lot
of
properties
that
are
sitting
vacant
that
are
health
and
safety
hazards
and
neighborhoods
that
communities
care
about
those
could
and
should
be
viable
home
ownership
and
rental
for
families
work.
Everybody
we've
talked
about
today.
The
idea
is
to
get
the
market
system
working,
get
developers
working
with
those
and
starts
with
having
a
definition
for
what
they
even
are.
So,
yes,
we
look
to
build
around
this.
A
holistic
system
that's
going
to
get
those
out
of
that
health
and
safety
problem
and
into
the
positive
column
for
housing
and
homeownership.
Thank.
