Ways to Support ABHM?

U.S. Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-Md.-04) recently announced the passage of nearly $12 million in Community Project Funding through congressional appropriations legislation. The money will benefit Montgomery County, Md. and Prince George’s County, Md.
“One of the things that became clear when we were speaking with community activists and leaders, is that they don’t have enough from a resource standpoint to do all that they can,” said U.S. Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-Md.-04). “Burtonsville needed help with a parking lot for their commuter lot we got funding for gun violence reduction.”
The Burtonsville park-and-ride project will help construct a 500-space parking garage. The parking garage will provide secure and covered park-and-ride spaces. It will also allow for the conversion of the existing ground park-and-ride lot, which would free up the property for about 250 rental apartments and benefit low-income residents.
