HOWARD COUNTY, Md. — Howard County Executive Calvin Ball is unveiling a new package of legislation focused on affordable housing.

According to the county, median rent is up 23% and home prices are up 20% over the last three years.

“These sharp increases are being driven in part by high demand to live in our community and an insufficient number of homes to meet those needs,” said County Executive Calvin Ball.

Executive Ball is announcing what he’s calling the housing opportunity meant for everyone or HOME plan.
