United Way of Central Maryland: Housing

Having a place to call home is one of the most basic—and most essential— human needs. Unfortunately, families make up a significant portion of our region’s homeless population, and some of them are living in motels or sleeping in their cars simply to stay off the streets. United Way is working on multiple fronts to address their needs. Our nationally recognized housing program includes innovative partnerships, such as arrangements with property management firms to reduce rent costs and waive security deposits. Our case managers work with families to build financial self-sufficiency in the face of skyrocketing housing costs. Through services and partnerships, we are making great strides to rapidly rehouse those who have lost their housing and prevent homelessness for countless others. Learn more at UWCM.org.
