Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development
Maryland

The purpose of the Group Home Program is to help individuals, qualified limited partnerships, and nonprofit organizations to construct or acquire or acquire and modify existing housing to serve as a group home or assisted living unit for eligible persons and households with special housing needs or to refinance mortgages on existing group homes. The Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development uses both state funds from the Group Home Financing Program and the proceeds from the sale of tax exempt mortgage revenue bonds under the Special Housing Opportunities Program to fund these loans. The Department will determine the most appropriate source of funds for the project based on eligibility requirements and underwriting of the project.
