Strong Communities for Life
Affordable Housing Opportunities for All
In addition to a portfolio of sixteen multi-family affordable housing communities, CHAI owns and oversees the operation of six homes for adults living with chronic mental illness. CHAI’s HOPED program (Housing for People with Disabilities) offers affordable, quality housing that helps low-income adults with mental illness live independently in the community. Each house is shared by up to four residents of the same gender and offers both private and shared amenities. Through our management company, Heritage Housing Partners, CHAI works collaboratively with service providers to ensure residents’ success. There are units available for immediate occupancy. For more information or to download an application, please visit the Heritage website or contact Grace Morris at Heritage at 443-518-7687.
Strong Communities through Healthy Schools
CHAI is proud to be an engaged community partner to area schools, providing support and resources to faculty, students and their families. Recently, CHAI was invited to serve on the interview committee to select a successor to Dr. Faith Hibbert, Fallstaff Elementary/Middle’s outgoing principal. CHAI congratulates Dr. Sedrick Smith on his appointment as Fallstaff principal and looks forward to continuing this important partnership. In addition, on July 27, CHAI participated in the Baltimore County Public Schools (BCPS) Partnership Fair, which brought BCPS partners together to showcase resources to area schools. CHAI understands that strong schools create strong communities and is grateful for the opportunity to partner with our local public schools.
A Personalized Approach to Support Older Adults 
Central to CHAI’s mission of strengthening community are the services and programs we provide to help older adults age safely and independently while leading active and engaged lives. This support often begins with a call to our intake line, where CHAI’s dedicated Intake Specialist, Lisa Glick, is there to listen and connect callers to assistance and resources. Ms. Glick has been the friendly voice on the other end of the line, fielding thousands of calls since its inception in 2018 and sharing information about CHAI’s affordable senior living communities, home repair and modification, and assistance with applications for housing benefits. Ms. Glick serves as an AgeWell Baltimore Specialist, providing access to coordinated services and programs available across The Associated system. “Some people are just so grateful to talk to someone for a bit,” Ms. Glick shares. In an increasingly automated world, CHAI is proud to provide a more personalized experience for our callers.
