Touring Greenwood 

MHP recently held its first quarterly Building Dreams Tour of 2025 at Greenwood Terrace Apartments in Silver Spring. These tours offer an opportunity to experience our work firsthand and view an affordable housing property developed by MHP. During the tour, MHP President Robert A. Goldman highlighted our work in housing people, empowering families, and strengthening neighborhoods. We were delighted to hear one of our residents sing for the group of visitors. Another special appearance was made by Gloria Castro, who shared stories about her time working with MHP students. Thanks to everyone who came out! Contact Jaimee if you are interested in attending the next tour.  

Real Estate Thought Leadership 

MHP VP of Real Estate Stephanie Roodman recently participated as a panelist in the State of the Housing Market event organized by Housing Association of Nonprofit Developers (HAND) and Bozzuto. It was a packed house and industry leaders tackled critical topics such as construction, development, financing challenges, and strategic partnerships, shedding light on what’s driving development in 2025. In these times of shifting market conditions, it’s important to share resources with fellow professionals in the affordable housing field.  

Empowering Families

Giving Back with The Civic Circle

MHP students are learning about the joy of helping others. Thanks to our partner The Civic Circle, students recently learned about what a food pantry is and how food donations can help people in need. They participated in an activity with Silver Spring Christian Reformed Church and helped pack bags for a local food pantry. This hands-on experience was a rewarding way to support the community. Through community life program partnerships, MHP enriches student learning and engagement. 

Resident-Curated Art

Art makes our community more vibrant, especially when it’s student art! Recently, one of our amazing community life program alumni worked with his teacher to curate a student art gallery. Alhagie’s work is on display along with a few of his peers’ compositions. Stop by the rental office at Pembridge Square apartments in Wheaton, MD to view the exhibition, which features self-portraits and still life works. Watch Alhagie’s video here. 

Strengthening Neighborhoods

Stores Next Door

As the Purple Line light rail construction faces challenges and delays, neighborhoods throughout this corridor are being hit hard. Local businesses are dealing with construction disruptions that limit foot traffic and put their survival at risk. MHP’s Discover Long Branch initiative is supporting these businesses through a wide array of monthly events. The first event of 2025 was Stores Next Door. Over 125 people attended the event and got to know more about restaurants, stores, and services in Long Branch. Community members also shared their feedback and hopes for the area.   

NeighborWorks Leaders Provide WHM Inspiration

As part of our Women’s History Month programming, MHP hosted executive officers from NeighborWorks America. President and CEO Marietta Rodriguez and other dynamic women leaders shared their career trajectories and discussed the importance of having mentors to guide them along the way. It was inspiring to have a candid and meaningful discussion with these accomplished leaders in the affordable housing field. 

MHP has been a member of NeighborWorks America for 23 years. A congressionally chartered and funded nonpartisan nonprofit, NeighborWorks America supports organizations that provide communities with affordable housing, financial counseling and coaching, training, and resident engagement and collaboration in the areas of health, employment and education. 

Special Thank You Video

In case you missed it, our team wanted to express gratitude to everyone who made our campaign a success. Here’s a special video to say thanks for helping us raise $21.1 million dollars over the last three years.

MHP provides thousands of low- and moderate-income families and individuals with quality affordable homes where they can thrive. Our Building Dreams tour, a one-hour experience, is a way to see our work first-hand. Each tour is held at an MHP property and explores the heart of all we do.

FEBRUARY 2025 MONTHLY NEWSLETTER

The Neighborhood Monthly eNewsletter – February 2025

Housing People

Playground Highlight 

Our latest property developments are beautiful in many ways. This month, we’re giving a sneak peek at a stand-out feature that sets MHP properties apart: our engaging, attractive, and accessible playgrounds! Check out the photos below, which showcase some of the fun zones in progress and recently completed.

Empowering Families

Supporting Academic Growth 

It takes a village to support students and MHP’s enrichment programs are needed now more than ever. According to the latest Nation’s Report Card, put out every two years by NAEP, U.S. students in fourth and eighth grade made some math gains since 2022, however, their scores remain below pre-pandemic 2019 levels. Reading proficiency was worse – fourth graders dropped from 35% in 2019 to 31% in 2024. Eighth graders saw similar declines.

Staff at MHP’s community life enrichment programs are working to close these types of gaps. The programs are free of charge and available to children who qualify based on income at our community centers and partner school. They also fulfill an important childcare need for working parents, which is especially important considering recent in-office work requirements. Thank you to everyone who supports MHP and helps our students get the enrichment they need.

Winter Trips

Even on chilly winter days, staff have found ways to keep our students active via trips to indoor locations. Here is a photo of the Play & Learn crew enjoying playtime at Hyper Kidz indoor play space! We’ve also visited museums, science centers, and other engaging venues.

Strengthening Neighborhoods

Credit Score Gains

A good credit score is important for getting access to loans, rental options and even job opportunities. It can also lead to lower interest rates, better loan terms and less expensive borrowing costs. However, when people are living paycheck to paycheck, they often need to make difficult financial decisions that can lower their credit scores.

Since last summer, MHP residents at two properties in Takoma Park have been participating in a rent reporting pilot in which their on-time rent payments are being reported to credit reporting agencies. After just six months, residents have increased their credit scores by an average of +44 points! The most dramatic increases were for individuals with the lowest credit scores, such as sub 500 scores. One household even saw their credit score increase by a whopping +131 points, which is incredible. We will continue to assess how we can support residents in improving their credit scores and obtaining more resources that can help their financial situations, including career coaching through our partner Career Catchers.

Seeking Volunteers and Food Donations

We’re looking for a two-person team with a truck to help MHP expand our community food distributions to at least one more site in Silver Spring / Takoma Park. We have access to free food for our residents via our partners, however due to recent changes in their operations, we are looking for support with picking up and distributing the food once a month for about 3 hours. The team would need to lift the food into their own truck, drive it to the designated property site, and then help with unloading and distributing the food to residents. This usually occurs at midday on Fridays.

Also, we’re looking for donations of nonperishable food and baby supplies (diapers, formula, bottles, etc.) to stock our pantry in Wheaton, MD.

Are you interested in donating your time and vehicle for this purpose? Or would you like to drop off a batch of canned goods and other supplies to stock our pantry? Please email Fatima Coreas to coordinate:  fcoreas@mhpartners.org   Thanks for your consideration!

Fair Housing Focus

What is the Fair Housing Act and why does it matter? At our recent professional development, MHP welcomed Sandra Y. Stewart, an experienced Fair Housing Instructor and Director of Growth and Development for Long and Foster Real Estate. Sandra illuminated how the purposeful segregation by design that plagued communities of color for generations prevented equal access to housing and exacerbated financial and social discrimination throughout the United States. In 1968, the Fair Housing Act was approved. This important doctrine prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of dwellings, and in other housing-related transactions because of race, color, sex, national origin, religion, familial status, and disability. It also requires that all federal programs relating to housing and urban development be administered in a manner that affirmatively furthers fair housing. Thank you to Sandra for improving our understanding of this important topic.

We Dit It!

Thanks to your support, we’ve exceeded our Making Home Possible for All $20 million campaign goal. In 2021, MHP began our bold campaign to double affordable housing by the end of the decade and in 2025, we have surpassed this number, strengthening our position to achieve this ambitious mission-driven goal.  Read more about this achievement here.

DECEMBER 2024 ADVOCACY UPDATE – Affordable Housing Support

December Advocacy Update – Affordable Housing Support

Tracking Equity Event

On November 19, MHP cohosted an exciting event in College Park which looked at the state of equitable transit-oriented development around the forthcoming Purple Line light rail line as well as the already established Metro Blue line.  

MHP was an original signatory to the Purple Line Community Development Agreement and has since been working to expand affordable housing, support small businesses and revitalize communities in the Purple Line corridor since the project broke ground in 2017. 

MHP President Rob Goldman participated in a panel discussion alongside small business owners, community advocates and philanthropic leaders whose organizations are investing in the work being done to bring more opportunity to the residents who live in these transit corridors. 

The panel compared the different approaches to achieving equitable development in the Blue line corridor— a 40-year-old line that has not experienced the type of investment other regional Metro stops have — and the Purple Line, which is still under construction. The panel helped uncover best practices and key challenges across different facets of equitable development including housing, support for communities and small businesses, placemaking and more.

Special thanks go to Wells Fargo and LISC for their support of this event.  

Call to Action

Last week, Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich transmitted a special appropriation to the Montgomery County Council to support several different County programs for households that are most at risk of homelessness or eviction.  

Among other things, the appropriation would provide additional funding to the County’s Rental Assistance Program (RAP) which provides ongoing rental assistance to households at risk of homelessness. Earlier this year, the County had to close this program to new households due to lack of funding.  

Over $1 million would go to support the county’s emergency rental assistance program which provides financial assistance to families that are at risk of eviction. Without additional funding, the County anticipated that funding for emergency rental assistance would be exhausted in the March to April timeframe, which would put even more households at risk of eviction. 

The County Council is expected to vote on the special appropriation next Tuesday, November 9. 

Please consider sending an email to the County Council to voice your support for the special appropriation.

Assessing What Trump’s Second Term Could Mean for Affordable Housing

In the wake of the presidential election, MHP and other affordable housing advocates have been assessing the potential impacts to affordable housing. 

During his campaign, Trump shared ideas for how he would address housing affordability, but his proposals often lacked detail. It remains unclear which proposals, if any, Trump will pursue in his second term, but here are several things to watch for when it comes to affordable housing and Donald Trump’s second term in office. 

LIHTC – the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program is still the primary tool for creating and preserving affordable housing nationwide. There were efforts to modernize the LIHTC program during Trump’s first term, so it’s not out of the realm of possibilities.  

Budget for Housing Programs – Federal housing programs are likely at greater risk of seeing budget cuts. HUD programs like housing vouchers, the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, and the HOME Investment Partnerships program which support the construction of affordable housing and low-income residents could see less funding in future years 

Tariffs – We could see higher construction costs if the tariffs that Trump has talked about implementing come to pass. This would then put a strain on state and local housing trust as projects will likely require a greater local subsidy due to increased construction costs. 

Opportunity Zones – You may remember the term Opportunity Zones from Trump’s first term. Opportunity Zones were meant to spur investment in economically distressed communities. There isn’t as much focus on Opportunity Zones now as compared to several years ago, but we could see this program brought back. 

Streamline Construction of Housing – We could see a bipartisan push to remove regulatory roadblocks to housing construction. During Trump’s first term, there was an effort to eliminate regulatory barriers to affordable housing which looked at things like zoning, rent controls, building codes, impact fees, parking requirements, etc. However, this effort began late in his first term and ultimately most of the recommendations were not acted upon. 

Committee for Montgomery Legislative Breakfast

MHP leaders recently attended the Committee for Montgomery Legislative Breakfast. This event brings together a coalition of leaders in business, labor, education, civic and community-based organizations to discuss critical issues facing Montgomery County. This year’s MHP table also included members of the Long Branch Business League and one of our founders, Jackie Simon. Our team networked with many elected officials at the State and County level and gained new perspectives on the legislative landscape we face going into 2025.

Empowering Families

Community Life Toy Drive 

Students in our Community Life programs received their end-of-year gifts, specially selected by their classroom teachers. We also brought gifts to a few other properties with large youth populations. In total, we served 600+ children and teens throughout our Montgomery County properties. Their smiles were all we needed to know that we made great selections. Thank you to all the corporate and individual donors who made this year’s drive possible.  

Angels for Children Toy Drive – Wheaton, MD 

With 400+ children and teens served, 100+ volunteers, 22 gift drop boxes, and five Santas, this year’s Angels for Children Toy Drive was a great success! It took a huge village of support to accomplish this major task and together, we got it done. We sincerely appreciate everyone who gave their time and treasure to help our low and moderate-income Wheaton residents have a wonderful holiday. And thank you to our event partners for the past 26 years: Wheaton and Kensington Chamber of Commerce and Wheaton Volunteer Rescue Squad. Special kudos to Acorn Self Storage for donating our storage unit. We look forward to many more years of serving the community together. Check out this video feature on ABC 7 News!

Winter Plantings in Long Branch 

Aesthetics are a huge part of placemaking. If you’ve ever been to Long Branch, you may have noticed planters outside of some of the local businesses in this Silver Spring neighborhood. Many flowers and shrubs are planted and maintained by MHP staff as part of our effort to strengthen Long Branch in light of Purple Line construction disruptions and other challenges. This is just one of the ways we are engaging in community development efforts to support local businesses and residents. Check out our new winter plantings curated and nurtured by MHP’s Paul Grenier!

The Chimes at North Bethesda 

More than 80 people joined us for the groundbreaking of The Chimes at North Bethesda. We were honored to feature prominent speakers including Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich, Council President Andrew Friedson, Council Vice President Kate Stewart, and more. Located half a mile from the North Bethesda Metro, The Chimes will bring 172,720 square feet of residential space to a bustling area, connecting residents with extensive transportation options, high performing schools, and other amenities while enhancing outdoor spaces for the public. This unique and complex project received funds from many sources including Montgomery County Department of Housing and Community Affairs; State of Maryland Community Development Administration, Revitalization Programs and Housing and Community Development; Freddie Mac; Amazon Housing Equity Fund; Capital One; Grandbridge Real Estate Capital; Truist; NeighborWorks America and Enterprise. 

Stay tuned for construction updates – anticipated completion will be in 2026.  

Empowering Families

Sounds of Joy 

MHP students in the GATOR elementary after-school enrichment program shared their voices for a timeless tradition – caroling around the neighborhood! This was our first time doing this and it was a lot of fun for the kids – and a joyful experience for neighbors. MHP Community Life program staff provided this opportunity in tandem with their end-of-year holiday celebrations, which included food, music, and of course delivery of toy drive gifts from our generous supporters. The greatest gift was celebrating the season together and providing a positive environment for students to learn and grow.

Building Community Through Piñatas 

The piñata is a popular tradition in Central America, Latin America, and the United States. To many people, it symbolizes joy, resilience, celebration, and overcoming adversity. Some of our Wheaton residents recently took part in a 10-week piñata-making class in partnership with Impact Silver Spring. This local nonprofit focuses on building a more thriving, equitable, and just Montgomery County. Residents connected with MHP staff and each other, building a sense of community while also learning a marketable and artistic skill. Here are some highlights from their end-of-class celebration! 

Wheaton Cleanup 

MHP partnered with the Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection to host a neighborhood cleanup in Wheaton at our Amherst and Pembridge properties. About 25 volunteers braved chilly temps to take care of this affordable housing community. Thanks to their efforts, the community is sparkling

Empowering Families

Play & Learn + Nature = Enrichment! 

Playing and exploring are such important parts of a young child’s development. Through our Play & Learn program, students practice basic skills like how to take turns, raise their hands, write their names, communicate their feelings, and so much more. It’s also amazing to see our students and families engage with nature AND each other on trips. On a recent trip to Nature Forward, students from multiple MHP sites discovered the flora and fauna living in our Maryland ecosystem. They also enjoyed the Woodend Sanctuary’s expansive and unique playground. 

FLOW Students Take the Stage 

In case you missed our recent benefit breakfast, MHP’s FLOW students were a huge hit. Not all middle schoolers are brave enough to perform in front of almost 300 people! Check out their impressive poetic performance here.

Strengthening Neighborhoods

Festive Fun at Unity Place 

The weather was a perfect backdrop for a festive afternoon with our residents. More than 100 people attended the recent Trunk or Treat event at Unity Place (formerly Worthington Woods) in D.C.
