County housing fund expected to double to offset problems with affordable units

Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett is expected to announce tonight his intention to more than double the county’s housing fund to combat the jurisdiction’s affordable housing woes.

Leggett is expected to tell a crowd of more than 500 Action in Montgomery members, aninterfaith activist group, that his plans to solve the county’s affordable-housing crisis are in line with theirs, but he can’t guarantee the timing of his intentions.
