Affordable Housing and Homelessness Services Program Inventory
Montgomery County’s high cost of living reflects the fact that this is a great place to live. However, it is barrier to attracting and retaining young professionals and a hardship for many of our residents, including seniors with fixed incomes and families struggling to make ends meet, to the point where some of them experience hunger and homelessness. Even many public servants, like teachers and firefighters, can’t afford to live where they work. We need to find creative solutions to make Montgomery County a place where people across the wealth spectrum can pursue their dreams and immigrants can find a home.
