Morgan State University Live Near Your Work Program

Morgan State University Live Near Your Work Program

Do you work for Morgan State University?  There are a number of down payment assistance programs in the City of Baltimore that can help would be home buyers with the down payment they need to buy a home.  If you work at Morgan State University you can get up to $3,500 in grant funds to help with the purchase of your new home.  You can use this in conjunction with other programs too, to minimize the amount you will need for a down payment on your new home. 
Imagine walking or biking to work in less time than it takes to enjoy a cup of coffee.  You can live within about 15 minutes of the campus and qualify for this program.  
  • You will need to take home ownership counselling from a HUD certified housing counselling service (ask me for a referral, I'm happy to help).
  • Select a home within the Morgan Community Mile area (I can help with this too)
  • Contribute a minimum of $1000 of your own money towards the purchase 
Communities where you might find a home include:
Arcadia
Belair-Edison
Belair-Parkside
