HISTORY OF EFFORTS TO END SOURCE OF INCOME DISCRIMINATION

The December 20, 2019 American Bar Association Human Rights Magazine published "Your Money's No Good Here: Combating Source of Income Discrimination in Housing" written by Homeless Persons Representation Project (HPRP) Executive Director Antonia Fasanelli and Poverty Race and Research Action Council Executive Director Phil Tegeler, with a contribution by HPRP Board Member Jill Williams.  

As of the end of 2019, four Maryland jurisdictions - Anne Arundel County, Baltimore City, Baltimore County, and Prince George's County passed laws this year banning housing discrimination based on source of income. These are great steps forward, but the question is: Why haven't Carroll County, Harford County, and many others taken this fair and equitable step?
