Thank you all for commenting, requesting information and discussing our affordable housing programs. We are happy to share some information that is pertinent. First, we are constantly overwhelmed with the enormous number of citizens who are seeking help with affordable rental units and subsidies. Our waiting lists are quite large and the wait times can be anywhere from 2-10 years, depending on the program, bedroom size needed and area of the county that one wants to live within. Why? The resources are limited in our county, very limited. There is far greater demand for units and rental assistance then there are communities and vouchers. Anne Arundel County is very difficult to build new affordable housing communities; it is very expensive land and it is already very heavily developed. Our agency has worked very hard to add 60 new units in the past 2 years, and we are hoping to add more soon. But sadly, it won't be enough soon enough.
