Safe and Healthy Homes Program

CBP is partnering with St Ambrose Housing Aid Center and Jubilee Baltimore, Inc to help elderly and long-time homeowners repair and preserve their homes, with the Safe and Healthy Homes Program. Repairs can include roof repair or replacement, HVAC (cooling and heating), in addition to (code-related) plumbing and electrical work. Weatherization enhancements, renovations for the purpose of fall prevention and improving accessibility are also covered. Up to $15,000 of direct assistance is available for each home. Supportive resources can include estate planning, assistance with tax credits, deed support, and healthcare-related service referrals.

Homeowners must meet the criteria below:

• Be one of the following types of homeowners —

  • A Legacy homeowner who has lived in their home for ten or more years 

  • A descendant of a previous long-term owner/occupant.

  • A Senior homeowner, aged 65 or above 

  • A Disabled homeowner who, without home modifications, would be unable to remain in their home 

• Live in one of the following Central Baltimore neighborhoods: Barclay, Charles North, East Baltimore-Midway, Greenmount West, Harwood, Old Goucher, or Remington

• Have total household income that is 60% or less of the area median income (approximately $44,160 for a household of one and approximately $63,060 for a household of four)

In conjunction with this program, support, (in pursuit of supplementary resources) is available from Neighborhood Housing Services (NHS) and Housing Upgrades Benefiting Seniors (HUBS) among others.
