Affordable Housing
What is affordable housing? For such a simple question, it can be a complicated answer. With the cost of living on the rise and salaries still lagging behind, the need for affordable housing is reaching a critical point. Low-income Americans, especially disabled veterans and seniors are increasing exponentially and so is the need for more affordable low and moderate housing.
The FCAR Affordable Housing Committee is a group of REALTORS® and other real estate affiliates that work together to promote affordable housing in Frederick County. We believe that everyone, no matter what your income, deserves to have an affordable and decent place to call home.
In addition to providing consumers with information about affordable housing options, the Affordable Housing Committee also works with local agencies that help with credit counseling, home buying education, rent assistance, and many other services.
