We are pleased to express our support for CB-86 and CB-87. These bills build on the many advances the County has made in recent years to address the housing needs of its residents. The Council and Executive have much to be proud of as these bills show how far we’ve come. 

Prince George's County Council bills would create a Housing Board to implement the 10-year housing strategy, and support affordable housing tax relief in Right of First Refusal purchases. CSG-testimony-re-support-for-CB-86-87-2022-Hsg-Bd-ROFR-PILOTDownload

Thank you to everyone who joined RISE Prince George’s and CSG on 10/8/2022 for our September meeting. We discussed progress and prospects for Prince George's affordable housing efforts as transit-oriented development takes root.

Recent Data for Progress polls about Thrive 2050, constructing new homes, and redesigning roads for safety over speed showed majority support for all three. 

The Coalition for Smarter Growth supports Bill 22-22E, which would limit rent increases to 4.4 percent for six months, and strongly urges you to develop and implement a long-term policy that protects tenants without hindering the construction of new housing. We also associate ourselves with the testimony of the Montgomery Housing Alliance, of which we are a member.
