Maryland Governor Wes Moore and his Housing & Community Development Secretary Jake Day make the case in this op-ed that housing affordability should be the top concern for Maryland policymakers. Earlier this year, the Governor put forward a package of legislation – including the Housing Expansion and Affordability Act (SB 484, HB 538) – to address the state’s housing crisis. Although state lawmakers have yet to approve the governor’s proposals, his team remains optimistic that they will do so before the end of the legislative session. — The Baltimore Sun
