The Coalition for Smarter Growth commends the Moore-Miller administration for enacting the Housing Starts Here executive order, demonstrating Maryland’s commitment to building the homes we need in a strategic, sustainable, and inclusive way. 

“The Moore-Miller administration recognizes that housing means opportunity,” said Carrie Kisicki, Maryland Advocacy Director for the Coalition for Smarter Growth. “This executive order will not just reduce barriers to building the homes we need—it promotes building these homes near transit, jobs, and schools, which is absolutely critical. Promoting sustainability, housing affordability, and access to opportunity go hand in hand.”
