Thanks to Baltimore’s WMAR-TV for featuring our DASH (Developing Affordable Starter Homes) Fund and the impact we’re having in Baltimore neighborhoods.
DASH not only actively supports small developers but also empowers them to rehabilitate vacant homes throughout Baltimore. By providing flexible, low-cost financing, DASH makes redevelopment more accessible. Accordingly, it creates affordable homeownership opportunities for Baltimore residents who are seeking quality housing options.
Above all, DASH aims to breathe new life into Baltimore’s communities. For this reason, it focuses on neglected properties that traditional financing sources often overlook. To meet the unique needs of small developers, DASH tailors its financing solutions, helping them transform vacant homes into attractive, affordable starter homes.
To date, several homes have been successfully redeveloped and sold to local residents, and many more projects are underway. As a result, these efforts promise a significant impact on Baltimore’s housing landscape by creating long-term, affordable housing options for families and individuals.
By supporting small developers, DASH enables them to contribute to the broader community’s growth. Not only does each project strengthen Baltimore neighborhoods through increased homeownership, but it also fosters community connections. Furthermore, as more properties continue to be redeveloped, Baltimore sees a sustainable boost in affordable housing.
Baltimore residents directly benefit from these projects by gaining access to quality, affordable homes. Consequently, with homeownership more attainable, families can establish roots within their communities. Evidently, the positive effect on Baltimore’s neighborhoods and the lives of its residents is both clear and inspiring.
