LWVAAC continues its Sunday Symposium series on Sunday, March 3, 2024 with a virtual discussion of current affordable housing policy and programs in Anne Arundel County.  

Housing is the basis of stability for an individual or family. A stable home provides a sanctuary—a place to live in peace, security, and dignity. When housing costs more than 30 percent of a household's income, it is no longer considered affordable because too little income remains for other necessities like food, transportation, and health care. Residents of Anne Arundel County have differing income levels. Does the housing inventory meet their needs?

Please join our discussion with Erin Karpewicz, CEO of Arundel Community Development Services (ACDS) who will speak about:

• How ACDS develops affordable, accessible housing for low to moderate income families, senior citizens and families and individuals with special needs.
• What ACDS has achieved.
• Current and past legislation that impacts affordable housing.
• The future of affordable housing in the county.

There will be time for Q&A and the opportunity to share your own concerns and questions about affordable housing. We'll conclude by evaluating whether the League has a position that addresses the issues and supports our goals. [Click here to review the current LWVAAC affordable housing position.]
