Four programs. One integrated system.

We connect Maryland residents facing housing insecurity with emergency rental assistance, eviction prevention counseling, and long-term affordable housing pathways through our community land trust model.

• Emergency rental assistance — one-time and short-term grants for residents facing eviction due to job loss, medical crisis, or other hardship.
• Eviction prevention counseling — legal aid referrals, tenant rights education, and mediation support before court proceedings begin.
• Affordable homeownership — CLT model homes available to income-qualified buyers at below-market prices, with permanent affordability covenants.
• Utility assistance — emergency support for electric, gas, and water bills to prevent utility shutoffs that destabilize housing.
• Housing search support — one-on-one navigation for residents seeking affordable rental units, including landlord outreach and application assistance.

Our workforce navigators provide one-on-one coaching, job placement support, and skills training referrals — helping residents build careers that sustain stable housing and family wellbeing.

• One-on-one career coaching — personalized sessions to assess skills, identify goals, and build a realistic employment plan.
• Job placement support — direct connections to Maryland employers, resume review, interview preparation, and follow-up after placement.
• Skills training referrals — connections to community college programs, trade certifications, and workforce development organizations.
• Benefits navigation — guidance on SNAP, Medicaid, childcare subsidies, and other benefits that support working families.
• Financial counseling — budgeting support, credit building, and savings strategies to help residents build financial resilience.

Bayit-trained Community Health Workers meet residents where they are — in homes, clinics, and community spaces — bridging the gap between social services and healthcare to address the root causes of instability.

In partnership with Vehicles for Change, we help low-income Maryland workers access reliable transportation — because getting to work is the first step to keeping a home.

• Donated vehicle access — qualifying residents receive donated, inspected vehicles at low or no cost through our Vehicles for Change partnership.
