Members Sought For Annapolis Affordable Housing Task Force

ANNAPOLIS, MD — The Annapolis City Council seeks volunteers to serve on its affordable housing task force that's been charged with assessing the current and future landscape of housing affordability in the city.

The task force needs a total of 44 members. An estimated half are members of government, nonprofit or quasi-governmental organizations. The remaining two dozen participants include two residents each from the eight Housing Authority of the City of Annapolis (HACA) public housing properties, as well as community leaders, developers and realtors.

The task force will have four committees: policy and recommendations, community engagement, needs assessment and feasibility. The task force will present its findings and recommendations to the city council no later than Sept. 30.

“Part of being a dynamic city is being a welcoming city to people from all walks of life and all socioeconomic backgrounds. I look forward to the recommendations from the Task Force because I see this as one of the most challenging issues we face,” said Annapolis Mayor Gavin Buckley in a statement.

Residents who are interested in serving can send a resume and cover letter to AldGay@Annapolis.gov.
