OUR MISSION
Neighborhood Housing Services (NHS) of Baltimore sparks renewed vitality in neighborhoods by engaging community partners, increasing sustainable homeownership and advancing innovative capital solutions.
OUR METHODS
NHS accomplishes its mission by helping to improve the physical appearance of neighborhoods, stabilizing local real estate markets and engaging community residents. We provide a clearinghouse of easily accessed information and specialized financial tools for home buyers, rehabbers and homeowners.
OUR HISTORY
NHS was founded in 1974 as a consortium of local residents, community groups, foundations, business leaders and local government. It worked to reverse the decline of the Southeast Baltimore neighborhoods just north of Patterson Park. As its success grew, other neighborhoods became interested replicating the NHS partnership model for rehabilitation lending, homeownership promotion and revitalization.
