One House at a Time, Inc. (OHAAT) was formed in 2005 and was first appointed as a Vacant Building Receiver in September 2006.

From 2006 to present, OHAAT acted as a Vacant Building Receiver for as many as 12 properties a month.

The mechanism that they have developed through the receivership process has been a model used by other organizations and other cities.

As a court-appointed receiver, OHAAT approves bidders, advertises and runs the auctions with an auctioneer, and moves the transfer of title through the court system.

OHAAT receives and auctions between 6 and 12 properties per month, providing a valuable resource of nuisance abatement to the City of Baltimore.
