Press Releases - County Council

For Immediate Release: Thursday, May 29, 2025

From the Office of Councilmember Andrew Friedson

Department of Housing and Community Affairs, Services to End and Prevent Homelessness, Housing Opportunities Commission and First Savings Mortgage representatives to join Councilmember Friedson for a virtual information session on housing accessibility and affordability

Montgomery County Councilmember Andrew Friedson will be joined by representatives from the Montgomery County Department of Housing and Community Affairs, Services to End and Prevent Homelessness, the Housing Opportunities Commission and First Savings Mortgage for a virtual United in Service and Support community meeting on Wednesday, June 4 at 11:30 a.m. on Zoom. The meeting will focus on housing accessibility and affordability.

“Montgomery County is here to respond to help our neighbors who have been targeted by the Trump Administration’s chaotic destruction and dismantling of safety net programs. As chair of the Council’s Planning, Housing, and Parks Committee, I am grateful to the expertise of our community partners joining me on this housing webinar to provide important information for affected residents feeling the negative impacts of these reckless and callous actions at the federal level,” Councilmember Friedson said.

With the federal workforce facing an uncertain future and fundamental rights under attack, local leaders are coming together to show their support for community members and share important community resources with residents. 

This webinar is part of a series of biweekly online resource sessions hosted by the County Council focused on employment, work source development and unemployment benefits, immigration issues, housing assistance, health and wellness, and essential County services. Residents should also visit the Council’s resource webpage which has information on a wide variety of services for Montgomery County residents. 

Residents are encouraged to log in for the June 4 webinar starting at 11:20 a.m. Join the meeting on Zoom

The online host will have access to read messages in the Q&A feature to protect the privacy of those joining the meeting. Residents can also submit a question here at any time. 

Simultaneous interpretation in Spanish will be provided. The webinar will also be broadcast on County Cable Montgomery and streamed on the Council's YouTube page.
