Maryland officials have released the state’s first-ever Housing Production Targets, setting clear goals for how many homes local governments must approve through 2030.
The report, part of Gov. Wes Moore’s Housing Starts Here executive order, will guide state funding decisions and come with annual reports tracking whether communities are keeping pace.
Currently, the state approves about 18,000 housing permits a year, according to the Department of Planning, a figure officials say falls short of demand.
