About Us

Empire Homes of Maryland, Inc. (EHM) is a non-profit Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) whose mission is to develop, manage, and maintain affordable residential properties for low-income people and those with disabilities.

Since 2002, EHM has developed, managed or leased housing throughout Baltimore City and County, using a wide range of public and private financing sources. EHM has developed 41 units of rental housing with an additional 58 units in production. 36 of the 41 units developed were created through the HUD Section 811 Program. As required, separate ownership entities were created and controlled by EHM. Those ownership entities are DM, Inc., Lakeview Properties, and Charles North Housing, Inc. EHM leases another 126 units of housing from private landlords. We serve underserved populations whose income is only 0-30% of area median income. Our effective use of resources has ensured that no individual pays more than 30% of their income for housing.
