FREDERICK, Md. – The Affordable Housing Council of Frederick County is excited to announce the release of a groundbreaking video series titled "Voices of Affordable Housing." This initiative aims to raise awareness about housing challenges in Frederick County and provide educational resources to those in need.
"By launching the 'Voices of Affordable Housing' video series, we hope to shine a light on the pressing housing challenges in our community and to provide valuable resources to those who need them most," said Hugh Gordon, Chair of the Affordable Housing Council. "We believe that by bringing together stories from our neighbors and insights from local leaders, we can foster greater understanding and support for affordable housing initiatives."
The "Voices of Affordable Housing" series includes four short videos that cover the key topics of homelessness, rental assistance, affordable housing, and senior housing. The videos feature insights from executive directors, leaders of local nonprofit organizations, and personal stories from clients— providing a comprehensive overview of the housing challenges faced by many in the community.
The videos are available for viewing on Frederick County’s YouTube channel and on various websites, including the Affordable Housing Council, the County's Division of Housing, and the City of Frederick's Department of Housing and Human Services. The videos will also air periodically on FCG TV (Comcast channels 1072 and 19).
Housing and human services nonprofits, government agencies, healthcare organizations, libraries, police departments, mental health agencies, churches, realtors, builders, civic associations, and other interested parties are encouraged to share the videos.
Contributors to the videos include the Affordable Housing Council, Advocates for Homeless Families, the Frederick Rescue Mission, Heartly House, SHIP, Beyond Shelter Frederick, Habitat for Humanity Frederick, the Interfaith Housing Alliance, the Frederick County Division of Aging and Independence, and SOAR of Frederick. The Frederick County Office of Communications and Public Engagement filmed and produced the videos.
