With the stability of a good home, a safe community and the chance to plan for your future, so much more becomes possible in life. When that home is in a place where resident voices are the priority, people can help shape the change they want to see in their homes, their neighborhoods and their futures.

At Next Home Grants, our residents help us define what success looks like. Everything we do is informed by the 24,000+ residents we serve  in the Mid-Atlantic, plus the millions of families we support in affordable homes and communities across all 50 states, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. In every neighborhood our work touches, we strive to make upward mobility possible.

Relief for Renters

Even before Covid, there were too many barriers to making rent. Because we know many people have lost their jobs or face new challenges since the pandemic began, we’ve stepped up our support.

  • Through housing stabilization grants, programs and additional support from local government agencies, we brought together over $15 million in rent relief to thousands of residents to date.
  • Through the Water Multifamily Assistance program, we’ve applied nearly $2 million to provide additional rent relief for our residents.
  • Our repayment plans provide more flexibility for people struggling to pay rent on time.
Resident Testimonial
When I lost my job at the start of Covid, it was so hard to stay afloat with mounting bills. Next Home Grants’s help took off so much pressure and stress. I am so grateful for this program looking out for me and making sure I could still live without fear of losing my home.

Featured Event
Career Fair

Enterprise Community Development hosted a career fair at Cherrydale Apartments in Baltimore to jumpstart the city’s post-pandemic recovery, connecting residents and the community to employers and career coaching services. It was a first for many who attended: clean records through expungement, on-the-spot hiring and even mock interviews with Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott.
