A local affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, Habitat for Humanity of the Chesapeake is a non-profit housing organization that works in partnership with families in need of housing to build simple, decent and affordable homes. Houses are sold to qualified homebuyers at no profit through no-interest mortgage loans. Homebuyers must first meet the requirements of Habitat for Humanity of the Chesapeake’s program, including the completion of 350 “sweat equity” hours. Homebuyers work alongside thousands of community volunteers to complete homes in several Baltimore City and county communities as well as communities in Anne Arundel County.

We are a Christian-based organization that welcomes people of all faiths - or no faith - to participate in our mission of building affordable homes together with our partner families. Since 1982, Habitat for Humanity of the Chesapeake has completed more than 260 homes and has housed more than 800 family members, half of which are children.
