Did you know that the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development runs a program to encourage homeownership for indivuduals with disabilities? Eligibility includes that one of the borrowers OR a son or daughter (regardless of age; who resides with one of the borrowers and is cared for principally by one of the borrowers) of one of the borrowers must have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities (for example, hearing, seeing, speaking, sitting, standing, walking, concentrating, or performing manual tasks). The definition does not include a person whose disability is based solely on any drug or alcohol dependence.
This program is available statewide. Call Single Family Housing at 410-514-7530 or e-mail to SingleFamilyHousing@mdhousing.org for additional information.
