Michael Sanderson of the Maryland Association of Counties told Queen Anne's County officials the state is facing a multi‑billion dollar shortfall that could lead to revenue changes and cost‑shifts to local governments; he highlighted housing, energy costs and tax uncertainty.

Planning Director Ethel Troutman told the council the city was assigned 6,665 people (2023–2046) and a housing target just under 4,000 units but the city’s calculated capacity is about 1,644 units; the council unanimously authorized transmitting the report to the county steering committee for the 2026 comprehensive-plan update.

Continuum of Care leaders told a Juneau ‘lunch and learn’ that Alaska’s two CoCs manage HUD-mandated systems, and that statewide shortages — an estimated 27,000 units over 10 years and just 36 affordable units for every 100 extremely low‑income households — are the primary driver of homelessness, with overcrowding especially acute in rural communities.

City staff told the Cupertino City Council on March 3 that recent project approvals and a Valco modification left the housing element short in low and moderate categories under SB166; council directed staff to engage a consultant, coordinate with HCD and pursue higher-density corridor sites and other strategies to correct the deficit.

42% of households spend more than 30% of their income on housing.
