Informed Residents. Stronger Communities.
Meeting People Where They Are
Mission: Educating in communities that have been historically, institutionally, politically and geographically excluded from the decision-making process in Montgomery County, MD, regarding stable, equitable affordable housing, land-use and transit issues.
Purpose:
EPIC of MoCo informs, educates, and supports residents on housing, transportation, and land-use policies. Many residents face barriers to participation, including limited internet access, language barriers, and a lack of access to information. EPIC bridges these gaps through community outreach, translated materials, in-person education, and hands-on support that brings information directly to residents. that affect their communities.
