Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development released the following statement regarding the President’s Executive Order on homelessness: "We believe housing is a fundamental human right. Institutionalizing those with challenges, such as substance abuse, mental health issues, or employment, goes against every proven best practice to reduce homelessness – practices that Maryland has used to reduce unsheltered homelessness by 42%. This executive order is yet another attempt to drive a stake of fear, division and hate through the heart of every community in our nation. Maryland believes in more, and our armor is strong."
