Offer a home. Guaranteed rent. Real outcomes
CHV signs the lease. A partner agency places a verified veteran. CHV absorbs landlord risk. You get a reliable check and the knowledge that your unit housed someone who served.
Three veterans placed through our transitional housing. Twelve months of on-time rent
Our first three placements were through a partnership with a regional case-management agency. CHV held the lease, the partner agency provided case management, the veterans received keys. Twelve months later, every placement is still housed. Every rent payment landed on the first.
That is not scale. That is proof of work. Which is exactly what landlords need to see before signing on.
Four reasons a landlord says yes
Guaranteed rent
CHV signs the lease. CHV pays the rent. You get a reliable check on the first of every month, without a vacancy gap.
No tenant screening burden
We place a verified veteran with an active case manager. Eligibility, background, and service-connection checks happen on our side, not yours.
Service connection
Every placed veteran has wraparound support through a partner agency. You are not the case worker. You are the landlord.
Mission alignment
You house someone who served. That is a specific, provable outcome. If you care about that, we make it simple.

Questions we get
What happens if the veteran breaks the lease?
CHV remains the lease-holder. Rent continues. We work with the veteran, the case manager, and (if needed) local placement resources. You are paid either way.
Do you only work with landlords, or also property managers and PHAs?
All three. Individual landlords, multi-property management firms, and HUD-VASH-participating Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) all have a path in. PHAs can layer our transitional housing on top of a voucher to close the rent gap.
What geographies?
Maryland today, with a focus on the Baltimore region. We expand geographically only after we prove durable placements in the current region.
Minimum commitment?
12 months on the lease is the minimum. We prefer 24-month leases where the unit is well-matched. Month-to-month does not fit the model.
Rent terms?
Fair Market Rent-adjacent, paid on the first, for the full term. Security deposit handled per local law. No escrow games. The lease is clear.
