Through the Maryland Mortgage Program, the department has empowered thousands of Maryland families to realize the American dream of homeownership.

The department’s rental housing programs increase and preserve the supply of affordable housing and provide good choices for working families, senior citizens, and individuals with special needs.

Community development and revitalization programs like Neighborhood BusinessWorks, Community Legacy, and Main Street Maryland help our cities and towns remain rich, vibrant communities.

The Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development remains committed to building on our past successes to maintain our reputation as an innovator in community revitalization and a national leader in housing finance.

​The department's Office of Community Outreach supports the mission and vision of the Department of Housing and Community Development by promoting the Department’s housing programs and initiatives, including the Department's foreclosure prevention initiatives for low and moderate-income Maryland residents.
