The National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC) released the 2024 The Gap: A Shortage of Affordable Homes. The report finds that there are 197,310 extremely low-income households in Maryland but only 63,118 affordable rental homes available to them, leaving only 32 affordable and available rental homes for every 100 extremely low-income households in the state. This shortage means there are only 34 affordable and available rental homes for every 100 extremely low-income renter households nationwide. The Maryland shortage continues to grow. Extremely low-income households include low-wage working people, seniors, people with disabilities, and others.
