MHP Community Engagement Specialist Fatima Coreas was interviewed on the Montgomery County public affairs program “En Sintonía.” She discussed MHP’s many programs to assist members of our community through access to quality affordable homes along with additional services, including preschool and afterschool enrichment programs for young people.
A Bisnow panel focused on how to spur development and job growth in Montgomery County included MHP Vice President of Real Estate Artie Harris.
Harris noted that the Montgomery County officials are ramping up efforts to expand affordable housing access through specific initiatives. These include offering county-owned sites for redevelopment and offering Payment In Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) options for projects that reserve a portion of housing units for moderate and low-income residents. “I think it’s a big priority now,” Harris said.

MHP is proud to be recognized by the Affordable Housing Conference (AHC) of Montgomery County as 2022 Housing Partner of the Year.
The award is presented to individuals or organizations who have demonstrated leadership in developing safe, decent and affordable housing, and dedication to meeting the full needs of residents and families in Montgomery County. AHC Executive Director Diana Eisenstat said, “Rob Goldman and his team are fierce advocates for their residents and leaders in the affordable housing development community in Montgomery County.” She noted, “Government leaders across the state seek MHP’s input on policy matters. This perspective has been invaluable in helping elected and other housing officials respond to the housing crisis during COVID.”
MHP President Robert Goldman accepted the award at the 31st Annual Affordable Housing Summit on May 20. Chris Gillis, MHP Policy and Neighborhood Development Director, participated in a panel, “Looming Eviction Crisis in Our Own Backyard,” along with other affordable housing industry professionals and elected officials.
