Vision

The Affordable Housing Conference of Montgomery County (AHCMC)—a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization—believes that affordable, decent, and safe housing is an inalienable right, and not a privilege, for every American.

Mission

The mission of AHCMC is to bring together elected officials, housing and community development leaders, business professionals, activists and others to identify and work toward affordable housing solutions, and to advocate for legislation, programs and policies that seek to preserve, maintain and create affordable housing in Montgomery County.

Since its inception in 1991, the Affordable Housing Conference of Montgomery County (AHCMC) continues to tackle affordable housing related issues and their impacts specifically upon Montgomery County, MD residents. Through its annual conference, awards programs, seminars, advocacy efforts and roundtable meetings, AHCHC seeks to form coalitions that identify and address issues including, but not limited to, workforce housing, mixed-use and mixed-income developments, inclusionary zoning, preservation of rental housing, first time home ownership, lending and fair housing, public-private partnerships and housing for people with disabilities.

Throughout the year, Board members work closely with local, state and federal government officials, private developers, financial institutions and other nonprofit organizations to insure that affordable housing remains at the forefront of local, state and national legislative and regulatory agendas. As a 501(c)(3) organization, AHCMC is able to provide technical and advisory assistance and work closely with organizations in their efforts to provide affordable housing efficiently and effectively.
