Affordable Housing Symposium
This symposium is a one-day, in-person, gathering of stakeholders in housing and community development working together to better understand affordable housing issues. We are convening an acclaimed series of special guests, speakers and panelists. These experts will explore a range of critical issues—to include county and state-level legislation and funding, county housing codes for moderately-priced and accessory units, tenant’s rights and protections, non-profit and mission-driven developer partnerships, affordable housing and economic development opportunities and advocacy—in affordable housing to meet the needs of Anne Arundel County residents, to strengthen the community and to benefit the local economy.
