Montgomery County Faith Community Advisory Council - Newsletter


 

 

Imagining New Possibilities Through Development

 

Stretch your imagination as you listen to experienced developers explore ideas for faith-based properties, including affordable or senior housing units, and mixed-use development.

 

Faith community leaders and decision-makers are invited to listen, learn, and discuss the redevelopment potential of their properties. Faith communities with excess land, underutilized structures, or declining income will have the opportunity to imagine new possibilities while continuing to serve their members.

Avoiding Eviction & Working with Landlords

 

Montgomery County is offering a package of supports to help renters, many of whom are behind on their rent due to COVID. All concerned renters are encouraged to take advantage of these financial, legal and counseling supports to take actions to stay in their home. First step is to Apply Now! for rent payment assistance. Learn more here

 

FREE Face Coverings

 

Our colleagues in the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary of Preparedness and Response (ASPR), in partnership with USPS and the National Council of Textile Organizations, have offered the Partnership Center’s faith and community-based stakeholders additional free face coverings for distribution to your community members. Learn more here

 

Join the Holiday Giving Coalition of Montgomery County

 

For over 30 years, the Holiday Giving Project of Montgomery County, Maryland, has provided Thanksgiving and December holiday assistance to low-income households. A network of social workers, school counselors, and other human service professionals refer families in need for holiday assistance to the County’s Department of Health and Human Services. The Department then distributes validated referrals among the Holiday Giving Coalition formed by local non-profits, faith-based organizations, and governments. Learn more here
