A local affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, Chesapeake Habitat for Humanity 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 Chesapeake Habitat’s program, including the completion of 350 “sweat equity” hours.  Homebuyers work alongside thousands of community volunteers to complete homes in several Baltimore City communities.

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, Chesapeake Habitat has completed more than 120 homes and has housed more than 300 family members, including at least 190 children.
