Thank You for Joining Us for the Community Resource Fair & Housing Panel!
Thank you to everyone who attended our 2026 Community Resource Fair and Housing Panel. We hope the event provided valuable information and supported ongoing discussion around housing needs.
We had an amazing panel discussion with great insights from our panelists Tracy Benjamin (Deputy Chief Administrative Officer of Economic Development, Prince George’s County), Rodney Harrell (VP Family, Home and Community, AARP), Brittney Drakeford (Director of Community Futures, The Capital Market), and Joel Patterson (SVP of Development, Dante Partners).
​
Thanks to our local partners at the resource fair, the event saw an excellent level of engagement and helped provide valuable resources to community members. We’re also honored to have welcomed Special Guest Congressman Glenn Ivey (MD-04) and Prince George’s County Council Chair Krystal Oriadha, who gave encouraging remarks regarding housing and economic development.
We appreciate your support and look forward to further strengthening the progress at BLCC.

The Blue Line Corridor is in the center of Prince George’s County, Maryland, which borders the eastern boundary of Washington, D.C. The Corridor stretches 5 miles and encompasses three local municipalities- The Town of Capitol Heights, The Town of Fairmont Heights, and The City of Seat Pleasant - as well as a number of unincorporated areas. It is served by four stops on the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) Blue/Silver lines: Capitol Heights, Addison Rd./Seat Pleasant, Morgan Blvd, and Downtown Largo.
