2026 Legislative Debrief: Housing and Homelessness

Please join the Housing Funders Affinity Group for a legislative debrief to understand outcomes of the 2026 Maryland General Assembly session and federal policy shifts around issues related to housing justice and homelessness prevention. 

Our speakers will be:

• Claudia Wilson Randall, Executive Director, Community Development Network of Maryland.
• David Gonzalez Rice, PhD, Senior Vice President of Public Policy, National Low Income Housing Coalition. 

This session provides time to connect with peers across the state and explore what these policy outcomes mean for your work, future efforts, and our collective impact in Maryland.

Maryland Philanthropy Network's Housing Funders Affinity Group mobilizes its members to use philanthropy’s voice, influence, and financial capital to end homelessness by creating and advancing lasting solutions that are grounded in racial and housing justice (housing affordability, tenant rights, and eviction prevention).
