You served. We can get you housed
Losing your housing in Maryland, or already without it? However you got here, start here.
Start your intake
You’re not out of options. You just found one
Housing. Support. Advocacy
You reach out
Call, or start the intake online. Whichever comes easier.
We start where you are
What you need now. What comes next. That’s the first conversation.
First, your housing steadies
A shelter referral, a transitional room, rent assistance, or a lease. Whatever your situation calls for.
Then, momentum
Benefits, work, health, money. We work it with you. Partners step in where needed.
We hold the lease. You hold the keys
Permanent housing, with your name on the lease and our guarantee behind it.
The path is open

You served
That’s the qualification.
You’re in Maryland
Or you’re moving here.
Housing is slipping
You’re homeless now, or a missed payment away.
That’s the whole list.
You don’t need your DD-214 to start. If your papers are missing, we’ll help you track them down.
Calling for your dad, your sister, a buddy? Same number. We’ll take it from there.
Five steps. No maze.

A safe bed first. Transitional housing next. Then a lease with your name on it. When a landlord hesitates, CHV guarantees the rent.

Services
The things that keep housing kept: VA benefits, case management, health, work, money, and legal. CHV does what it can in-house. Trusted partners cover the rest.

Advocacy
When the rules are the problem, we work to change them. Vouchers that don’t match real rents. Rules that shut veterans out.

If you’re doing everything right and still sinking
The math broke. You didn’t.
A 50% disability rating pays about $1,075 a month. A modest two-bedroom near Baltimore runs about $2,314. No amount of discipline closes that gap.
Closing that gap for Maryland veterans is what CHV exists to do. Federal waitlists can run in months. A housing crisis gives you weeks. We work on your clock, with a plan that starts with tonight.
The next call could be yours.
Start with one call. It’s free and confidential, no cost and no obligation. Tell us where you are, and we’ll take it from there.
