Final Report to Governor & General Assembly due December 31, 2018 (Executive Order 01.01.2017.03).

In March 2017, the Two-Generation Family Economic Security Commission was formed by the Governor (Executive Order 01.01.2017.03).

To mitigate multigenerational poverty in Maryland, the Commission is charged with identifying what current State services and policies can be utilized in a multigenerational approach that addresses the needs of both parents and children in low-income families. Further, the Commission will pinpoint program and service gaps, and any inconsistencies in federal, State and local policies. Best practices currently in use are to be identified, tested, and recommended. Government agencies, private foundations, community action partnerships and welfare advocacy organizations with direct experience in the multigenerational approach are to be consulted by the Commission. Finally, the Commission may establish up to four pilot programs in areas with high percentages of children in multigenerational poverty.

Authorization for the Commission ends December 31, 2018.
