MoCo DSA partner, Housing Justice Montgomery (HJM), has been advocating for a 'homelessness preference' for the Montgomery County Housing Opportunity Commission's (HOC) voucher program. With this preference, HJM projects that the county will be able to house every homeless person currently awaiting services within five years. However, some HOC commissioners have been stalling making a decision on creating this program. Join the HOC's November meeting to pack the room and testify in support of the homelessness preference.

The Montgomery County Housing Opportunities Commission is Montgomery County's public and social housing developer/manager and the commission administers the county's rental subsidy programs, including the housing choice voucher program.
