EMPIRE HOMES OF MARYLAND (EHM)-- A nonprofit Community Housing Development organization whose mission is to develop, manage, and maintain affordable residential properties for low-income people and those with disabilities. EHM was established in 2005 as a wholly owned subsidiary of AIRS to increase the number of affordable supportive rental housing to accommodate the AIRS waiting list. Since its creation, EHM has developed nearly 200 units. EHM develops housing through acquisition, rehabilitation and new construction development that focuses on special needs populations. EHM also provides development consulting services that expand the capacity of other small to mid-sized non-profit housing providers. EHM provides a Case Management Sensitive (CMS) approach to property development and management. CMS Development pays special attention to unit accessibility including handrails, ramps, elevators and ADA construction when necessary. Access to service providers, public transportation and other basic amenities groceries, laundry are also considered. CMS Property management involves quarterly property inspections where proactive property maintenance issues are addressed and the living conditions of the resident are accessed. Inspection reports are generated and provided to the case manager of the resident. Experience has shown that these reports often serve as warnings to case managers that a client intervention may be necessary. For further resources for youth, please visit www.citysteps.org

Our first community service event since the pandemic began was an awesome success. Staff joined one of our board members ( AvalonBay Communities always comes though) and our newest corporate partner Milwaukee Tool Company for painting and light landscaping at Don Miller Homes.

We started bright and early at 8:30 with Starbucks coffee (thanks!) and provided the equivalent of one week of time for a maintenance tech in about four hours!

The clients and staff love the new look of their common area spaces.

Thanks to all of our volunteers!
