They weren’t kidding when they called this the Year of Housing in the Maryland General Assembly! We’re eying the Senate to see whether the state takes huge steps to protect renters’ stability and safety. #HousingIsAHumanRight #mdga24

"We know how hard school staff work to prevent evictions. This bill will help families most at risk . If families become homeless, imagine how much hard it will be for those kids to attend school and learn?" -- Lisa Sarro Pass SB 370/HB 428 @GuyGuzzone & Chair Barnes #MDGA24

"Children under 5 make up the largest group by age of those whose households have had an eviction filed against them... In a given year, about a quarter of Black children under 5 in rental homes live in a household facing an eviction filing." No words nytimes.com/2023/10/02/ups…

So many tenants, advocates, and practitioners across Maryland have made the case for more rent assistance resources -- we need more lawmakers to support this afternoon! Please let yours know to #LeaveNoOneBehind

Today @ 3:30, the Budget Conf. Committee will finalize FY24 Operating Budget for MD. It currently includes $0 for emergency rental assistance. Pre-pandemic, it was funded meagerly, but it WAS funded. Why has @iamwesmoore + #MDGA23 eliminated a critical eviction prevention tool?

On this rainy Friday a critical 🧵about the storms looming over Maryland families who are facing eviction w/o emergency rental assistance support. In the final days of #mdga23 money can still be allocated in the FY24 budget for ERA! #mdpolitics #mdhousingjustice @FundMERANow
Renters United Maryland@rentersuniteMD

🧵 We learned yesterday @iamwesmoore + the General Assembly currently have no plans to fund statewide emergency rental assistance in the FY24 budget to stop evictions. We sent this letter with @FundMERANow urging them to reconsider: bit.ly/RUM-MERA-Letter #MDGA23 #MDPolitics /1

It's imperative that the State funds emergency rental assistance... especially in MD. MD is one of the most expensive places to live. Your home is the anchor to every other aspect of life. It's irresponsible to leave rental assistance out of the budget. Fund ERA!
Lisa Klingenmaier@klingenmaier

Great @baltimoresun oped from @UnitedWayCM on the critical need for emergency rental assistance. With 2 wks left in #mdga23 there is still time for legislators to address this need & fund ERA! #mdpolitics #mdhousingjustice @FundMERANow @rentersuniteMD baltimoresun.com/opinion/op-ed/…
