Fund the Trust
This morning, the Baltimore City Council's Taxation, Finance, and Economic Development Committee held a hearing on Bill 18-0221 – Recordation and Transfer Taxes – Surtax – Dedicating Proceeds to Affordable Housing Trust Fund - more popularly known as the Fund the Trust Act. This bill would raise $13 million for the city's Affordable Housing Trust Fund per year by slighly increasing fees on property transfers above $1 million, making it possible for Baltimore to fill a gap in housing availability that the housing market cannot meet by creating deeply affordable housing in Baltimore.
