Welcome

Housing is an issue that unites us all whether we live in Baltimore City, Baltimore County or the surrounding Metropolitan region. On Wednesday, March 5th, 2008 community organizers, activists, politicians, foundations and academics will bring their expertise on housing issues in the Baltimore Region to Towson University for Metropolitan Dilemmas and Solutions. Please join us for an educational and strategic experience on where and how we live in this place we all call home.
