Statewide Report
ACT, PATH, AIM and our partner organizations strategically worked together in the Maryland State House this year with significant results. It was our first year as three organizations working together on multiple issue areas at the same time, and preparation for where we want to go as a statewide collective. Together, we helped pass three key pieces of affordable housing and climate equity legislation that will make a real difference in people’s lives.
