2024 promises to be a big year for housing policy in the State of Maryland with implications for the next several years. Join us for a conversation with Jacob R. (Jake) Day, Maryland Secretary of Housing & Community Development, to learn about his vision for the department under the Moore-Miller administration and key priorities. This will also be an opportunity for MPN members to share information about what they see in communities, their priorities, along with ideas for working together with state leaders to ensure safe, affordable, and supportive housing for all Marylanders.

The transformation of the national political landscape poses an array of challenges and threats for communities and grantees, who are facing the abrupt loss of federal funding, immigration enforcement policies that harm vulnerable communities, and politically motivated investigations and litigation targeting nonprofits. Join Maryland Philanthropy Network staff and your philanthropic peers for a webinar led by Georgetown University Center for Public & Nonprofit Leadership and United Philanthropy Forum's State + Local Advocacy Alliance. This webinar will explore ways that funders can support grantees and protect communities through state and local advocacy strategies.
