Cornerstone Community Housing (CCH) is a community-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit incorporated i

n 1993. Eugene Bartell and volunteers at The Supper Club, a feeding program at First United Evangelical UCC and was inspired by Earl Johnson, a guest at The Supper Club. Earl and other guests put a face on “homeless” and raised awareness of the need for food and shelter. Realizing a need to do more than just feed people, Earl’s Place, a transitional housing program was opened in December 1997. Earl did not live to see the results of his inspiration, but his memory lives on through the many men who are helped. Earl’s Place is located in Baltimore City and provides transitional housing and supportive services to 17 men at a time. Annually 30-35 men are provided housing and support to work on their goals

Our second project, Prospect Place, opened in November 2015. Using a Housing First model we provide permanent supportive housing to twelve men who were chronically homeless. Mission Statement

is a transitional housing project in Baltimore City. Our namesake, Earl Johnson was a guest and volunteer at the Supper Club soup kitchen until his death. Earl’s Place provides seventeen men with a stable address, and a place to receive mail and phone calls. Perhaps most importantly, Earl’s Place is a place to call home. Concerns such as having a clean, safe place to sleep, shower and keep their belongings are alleviated. The Case Manager works with the men to develop both short and long-term goals and locate community services including health care, education, job training and permanent housing. The men may remain in the program for up to two years. On average, 70 percent or more maintain stable housing.

Our Story

Earl's Place is a transitional housing program in Baltimore City providing long-term (up to two years) of housing and supportive services to seventeen men at a time. The men work with a case manager to locate resources and ultimately permanent housing. The program is operated out of two row houses that were combined to develop a building with office space and living areas for seventeen men. The house is also shared with Sophie, our resident cat.
