The Maryland House of Delegates

Two delegates representing District 12A in Howard County have endorsed The Alani Jacob Foundation and its SAFE HUB™ program — each quote below drawn verbatim from their letters of support.

Legislative Recognition
Through its SAFE HUB program, the Foundation deploys coordinated, parallel intervention across housing, special education, disability benefits, and medical access from the first day of a family’s crisis — keeping families intact and connected to services at the moment they are most at risk of losing both.
The Honorable Jessica FeldmarkMaryland House of Delegates · District 12A · Vice Chair, Ways & Means Committee
Access to care, to services, and to opportunity should not depend on a family’s ability to navigate a system that was never designed with them in mind. The Alani Jacob Foundation’s SAFE HUB program removes that barrier.
The Honorable Terri L. Hill, M.D.Maryland House of Delegates · District 12A · Health Committee
Historic Preservation

Rockfort Hall & the Saltsburg Historic Review Board

Our rehabilitation of Rockfort Hall — a 154-year-old contributing structure in the Saltsburg Historic District — is endorsed by the borough’s own architectural review board.

The proposed preservation and adaptive reuse is consistent with our goals. I urge all reviewing bodies to give this application their full and favorable consideration.
