The Washington Business Journal recently covered the policy debate in Montgomery County over proposals to fund an expansion of affordable housing preservation and construction. The article cites the observations of MHP President Robert A. Goldman during a County Council Planning, Housing, and Economic Development (PHED) Committee hearing. The full article is here (behind a paywall).
“There’s unbelievable need for resources to do affordable housing,” Robert Goldman, CEO of Montgomery Housing Partnership, a developer, who favors a $100 million fund, told PHED Committee members last week. “Interest rates are rising, construction costs are going through the roof. … We need as much resources as possible.”
MHP will join with the White House Office of Domestic Climate Policy, New Columbia Solar, and District of Columbia leaders at a solar panel installation event on Saturday, Sept. 18 at Crescent Park Village (CPV) Apartments in the Bellevue neighborhood of Southeast Washington, DC. The (CPV) community was developed by MHP and provides 110 quality affordable homes.
The event kicks off National Clean Energy Week and celebrates the community’s participation in the DC “Solar for All” program. That program is dedicated to bringing the benefits of solar to DC residents, providing clean energy and reducing utility bills.
A media release on the event is here.
