The Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development announced $36.8 million in funding to 13 projects through federal Low Income Housing Tax Credits and state and federal rental housing programs, including $17.5 million in tax credits, estimated to generate $160 million in tax credit equity. These awards will result in the creation or preservation of 1,275 high quality, energy-efficient, affordable rental units in eight counties and Baltimore City. 

The announcement builds on Gov. Moore’s recently-signed Housing Starts Here executive order and other pieces of legislation signed into law during the 2024 and 2025 legislative sessions, marking critical progress towards addressing Maryland’s housing affordability and availability crises.
