About the ENOUGH Act

The Engaging Neighborhoods, Organizations, Unions, Governments and Households (ENOUGH) initiative is the first-of-its-kind state-led, place-based strategy to create poverty fighting opportunities driven by communities' lived experience and expertise, data and cross-sector partnerships. ENOUGH will surge resources into neighborhoods that have been disproportionately impacted by systems and policies that limit wealth creation and economic mobility.

The ENOUGH Initiative Envisions a Maryland where:

  • All residents feel welcomed, valued, and have a role in the growth of their community.
  • All children have access to high quality education and care while ensuring smooth transitions from birth until working in a career.
  • All families have access to affordable high-quality health care, including maternal, mental, and behavioral health care.
  • All families can meet their needs, work with dignity, and build wealth for the future.
  • All residents of a community feel safe and have access to high-quality, affordable housing, a thriving commercial core, recreational spaces, nutritious food, and transportation.​
