What does this measure do?
Supports: Housing Affordability
Howard County could use borrowed money from its building budget to help pay for affordable homes for sale, if the Housing Commission owns the project and every home stays affordable while the loans are repaid, usually 20 to 30 years. More affordable homes to buy could be built with county money.
