Thank you for your interest in Montgomery County’s Housing Policy. As director of the Department of Housing and Community Affairs, I am pleased that you and so many others are interested in housing issues in Montgomery County. The 2012 Housing Policy sets the following goals:

Preserve the existing regulated affordable housing stock, striving for no net loss of income-restricted affordable housing.
Increase the number of affordable housing units.
Conserve and care for Montgomery County’s residential neighborhoods, and develop and invest in quality communities.
Strive to prevent homelessness and find homes for the homeless.
Support the development of new housing, especially in transit-oriented areas.
