Let's build a future without homelessness
Since opening Sojourner Place at Oliver in 2022, our affordable housing development team has been busy laying the groundwork for more affordable housing in Baltimore through a newly formed subsidiary under Health Care for the Homeless called the HCH Real Estate Company.
Here are two of the projects we have in the works:
Sojourner Place at Park
Another collaboration with Episcopal Housing Corporation, this housing project brings Health Care for the Homeless full circle—the development includes 111 Park Ave, which served as our headquarters and largest clinic for nearly 20 years.
- Groundbreaking in 2025
- 48,000 square foot building in Baltimore’s historic Five and Dime District
- 42 one-bedroom apartments, with 28 for people exiting homelessness
- Half of the funding is in hand, thanks to investments from The Harry & Jeanette Weinberg Foundation and Baltimore City (including the Affordable Housing Trust Fund).

Sojourner Place at Falls
In October 2024, we were selected to convert two city-owned hotels to permanent supportive housing. Just down the street from our Fallsway clinic, our proposal and vision include:
- 155 apartments, a mix of one and two bedrooms
- The future site of 50 medical respite beds
- On-site case management services
- In partnership with Episcopal Housing Corporation and Beacon Community Development, we will begin the multi-year process of seeking the financing to redevelop the property.
