Mission

On July 1, 2009, Arundel Habitat for Humanity and Chesapeake Habitat for Humanity merged to become Habitat for Humanity of the Chesapeake. Habitat for Humanity of the Chesapeake is a Christian ministry that works with people from all faiths and walks of life to build and renovate decent houses for affordable homeownership throughout Anne Arundel County and the Baltimore metropolitan region. While most Habitat for Humanity affiliates build new houses from the foundation up, Chesapeake Habitat's Board of Directors decided to renovate the existing housing stock in Baltimore neighborhoods in order to provide safe, affordable homes while eliminating vacant properties. Since its incorporation in 1982, Chesapeake Habitat has completed more than 140 homes and has housed more than 300 family members, including at least 200 children.
