Healthy Neighborhoods

Healthy Neighborhoods has established a loan program to support the acquisition and/or rehabilitation of owner occupied homes on target blocks in the ten Healthy Neighborhoods program neighborhoods. The Healthy Neighborhoods Initiative is an effort of area foundations and the City of Baltimore to invest strategically in certain neighborhoods and target blocks within those neighborhoods. On target blocks, special purchase-rehab mortgages and home improvement loans are available. In addition, city employees are eligible for an extra $750 as part of the Baltimore City Employee Homeownership Program, bringing their total incentive from that program to $3,750.
