Allison Harris, Director of PBRC's Home Preservation Project, joined a coalition of housing advocates to urge the passage of HB0059/SB0912 without amendments, to protect Marylanders from tax sale foreclosure and eviction due to unpaid water bills.

"''Supporting homeownership is one critical way that this administration can further economic justice in Maryland in these difficult times,” says Allison Harris, Director of the Home Preservation Project at the Pro Bono Resource Center of Maryland. “Keeping families in homes and homes in families is proven to bolster both individual and community economic stability. Threatening home loss for an overdue water bill should not be on the table and harms all of us who live here.”'”
