Stable housing solutions for those who served
Housing is our core work. We provide wrap-around support in a limited capacity, and partner agencies augment and multiply it. We serve veterans in Maryland across three pillars: Housing, Services, and Advocacy. All veterans welcome, regardless of discharge status.
The problem we are solving
The math broke. Disability income no longer covers rent in our region.
A veteran rated 50% disabled receives roughly $1,075 per month from the Department of Veterans Affairs. A modest two-bedroom in the Baltimore region rents for about $2,314. HUD-VASH vouchers stall when Fair Market Rents lag actual rents. Intake windows measured in months leave veterans in crisis with weeks.
CHV closes that specific gap for Maryland veterans that federal programs are not reaching. Not another program layer. Direct housing placements and rent assistance, where the math actually breaks.
“$1,075 in disability. $2,314 in rent. That is a policy gap, not a personal failing.”
Three pillars, one mission
Together they cover the full arc from immediate crisis to long-term stability. Pick the one that matches what you need or want to support.
