MD contributing funds for 68-unit affordable housing units in Columbia

In approving state funding for an affordable housing complex in Columbia on Wednesday, top Maryland officials said the project represents a chance to help low- and middle-income renters, but also shows the hurdles that have contributed to a national shortage of such units. The Board of Public Works voted unanimously to approve $3.4 million in general obligation bonds for the construction of 68 affordable housing units in the Waverly Winds community.
