For many Marylanders homeownership is in view but out of reach.
CHHED is pleased to launch a Mutual Self Help program. Self Help is a federally funded homeownership opportunity sponsored by CHHED to help limited income families to purchase and build a home. If your interested in a Self Help Home, CHHED is now recruiting families.

Federal Lead Risk Reduction Program Salisbury and Cambridge
The Federal Lead Hazard Risk Reduction Program (FLHRP) is funded through the State of Maryland. CHHED works with local governments to help landlords meet State compliance to increase the number of lead safe housing units in program targeted areas. CHHED also conducts one-on-one educational outreach under FLHRP.
Special Notice:
If you are an owner of a rental property constructed between 1950-1978 have the option of opting-in the Maryland State Lead Hazard Prevention Program. Only units built before 1950 MUST be in full compliance with Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) Lead Laws. MDE’s deadline for full compliance was February 24th 2006.
Know the law, your rights and responsibilities of owning rental property and your rights as a tenant. Contact CHHED’s Healthy Homes Administrator (Bernard Powell) at 410-543-9611 or toll free at

On March 24, 2006 House Bill 1445 and 1446 was introduced in the Maryland General Assembly. This legislation will directly affect landlords and occupants of rental housing.

In 2007 & 2008 CHHED will help 12 families experience the American Dream of homeownership. SELF HELP HOUSING is funded by USDA Rural Development.
HomeOwnership Possible through Education (H.O.P.E.) is a homebuyer/credit education course covering 10 essential steps to homeownership. One of the most beneficial features of H.O.P.E. enables CHHED to help potential homebuyers to raise credit scores with a prescribed method. Potential homebuyers who successfully complete this very important course receive a certificate of completion recognized lenders. Ask your CHHED Community Service representative for more information. Read about those who have experienced H.O.P.E.
PROJECT H.O.P.E.
For most families a “healthy home” and affordability go hand-in-hand. Low and moderate income families are faced with many barriers to homeownership. To help families address these barriers, CHHED developed H.O.P.E.

MUTUAL SELF HELP HOUSING PROJECT FOR WICOMICO COUNTY
Project List
Due to Federal Budget Cuts adversely affecting the USDA Self Help Housing Program Nationwide, the Self Help Housing for Wicomico County has been placed on HOLD until further notice.
The Corporation for Healthy Homes continues to provide access to affordable housing through its programs that include credit counseling, mortgage qualification, housing preservation and new construction projects.
It is our hope that in the future federal program funds will become available to help make Self Help Housing available to limited income families in Wicomico and other Eastern Shore Counties.
Until then, we at the Corporation for Healthy Homes will continue building sustainable communities innovatively that benefit limited income families and the environment in which they live. To learn more about housing programs provided by The Corporation for Healthy Homes or to get involved, contact our office (410) 543-9611.
