Montgomery Housing Alliance (MHA)

Through coalition advocacy, we have helped secure historic investments in Montgomery County's Housing Initiative Fund (HIF) and continue working with County leaders to sustain and expand funding and policies needed to meet the region's growing housing demands.

MHA serves as a trusted forum for collaboration and action. Through monthly coalition meetings, candidate forums, policy briefings, and advocacy initiatives, we bring together key stakeholders with the goal of advancing practical, equitable housing solutions.

We advocate for County and State policies that expand resources for affordable housing preservation and development, including investments that support deeply and naturally occurring affordable housing as well as community centered development.

We advocate for policies that expand equitable homeownership opportunities, such as investment in increased support for lower income and first-time homebuyers as well as programs that allow lower income homeowners to preserve the homes they own.

We support regulatory and land use policies that create a stronger environment for affordable housing development, preservation, and long-term stability of Montgomery County residents.

We promote strategies that encourage collaboration among government, financial institutions, philanthropy, and community partners to expand affordable housing opportunities.

We advocate for policies that increase affordable housing near transit corridors, employment centers, and community amenities to improve access and reduce barriers for residents.

We support policies that ensure communities of all incomes, races, and backgrounds benefit from economic growth and housing investment while reducing displacement and expanding opportunity.

We advocate for policies and resources that prioritize the needs of seniors, extremely low-income households, people experiencing homelessness, and residents with disabilities.
