AIM’s 2023 Impact Report: Building on Strength for a Brighter Future

This year has been a turning point for AIM, thanks to your support! By expanding our staff, we achieved more local victories on affordable housing, education, health, and climate that affect thousands of lives. View the Impact Report to read more about our 2023 accomplishments. We want to build on this strength to address these issues at the statewide level and make Maryland a leader in these areas.

This year we discovered that with the federal funding (including the Inflation Reduction Act) coming to our states, we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to improve our infrastructure around housing, health, transportation and more. Our meetings with state officials have made it clear that our deep relationships at the local level with elected officials and business leaders give AIM a key role in ensuring that our state fully implements climate solutions while also addressing other long-standing issues, particularly housing and jobs. Making older apartment homes more fuel efficient and using cleaner, greener electric appliances can reduce carbon while addressing respiratory illness, toxic mold and vermin issues that have been plaguing tenants who have been working with AIM for years.

In 2024, we will focus our strategy on building the statewide people power and relationships to work with the Governor, Comptroller, Senators and Delegates to make sure Maryland makes significant strides in getting to net-zero carbon while making sure that everyone, regardless of income, benefits. We will also launch our statewide work on affordable housing. As the largest group of organized people power working on statewide housing solutions, we are in a position to lead on new legislation and funding initiatives.
