Housing Affordability Dashboard

DHCD has launched its new Housing Affordability Dashboard, an online affordable housing data portal and tool that serves as a doorway for County leadership, Councilmembers, policymakers, planners, affordable housing providers, advocates, landlords and residents to access key housing metrics and track housing indicators.

In April 2022, the Housing Opportunities for all Workgroup concluded a 3-year long effort in assisting with the implementation of Housing Opportunity for All, the County’s Comprehensive Housing Strategy. In June 2022, Prince George’s County presented its Grand Slam 2022 event, an economic development showcase and pre-solicitation event that revealed projects and procurement opportunities soon to be available to the development community that advance the County’s vision for economic development. The preservation and production of quality affordable housing for all County residents is a cornerstone of the County’s Economic Development vision.

To kick off the 2022 Fall season, the Prince George’s County Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) is releasing a new video that highlights the County’s housing goals and the tools the department uses to meet these goals. This fast-paced, information packed video provides an overview of DHCD’s work in English and in Spanish.
