Who can apply

How to apply

1. Call the building at 410-878-0425 (managed by Community Housing Partners Corporation) and ask whether the waiting list is open and how to get an application.
2. Most buildings keep their own waiting list — this is separate from the Housing Authority of Baltimore City (HABC) Section 8 voucher list.
3. Submit proof of income, ID for every household member, and Social Security numbers where available.
4. When your name comes up, the management office verifies eligibility and offers a unit.
