Rebuilding Baltimore

One House At A Time

One House At A Time is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a better quality of life for Baltimore communities through vacant building receivership.

In our role as a vacant building receiver, the District Court of Maryland appoints us to transfer vacant Baltimore City properties to qualified rehabbers who will get them up-to-code and back in productive use. By streamlining the blight removal process, we help eliminate hazardous properties from our city, create safer neighborhoods, and increase revenues to support Baltimore City services.

HOW WE WORK

After the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) identifies a vacant property, the District Court orders us to transfer the property through public auction. From there we begin the receivership process which includes qualifying bidders, hosting auctions, coordinating settlements, and disbursing funds.
