About Chesapeake Neighbors
Who We Are
We believe access to quality, affordable, and safe housing isn’t a luxury – it’s a right.
The Arc Central Chesapeake Region founded Chesapeake Neighbors in 2007 because people deserve options and opportunities when it comes to housing. Everyone should live in a home they are proud of, in a convenient, affordable, and safe location. Our tenants are people who want an affordable, safe, and centrally located home. We focus on quality, offering modern amenities and properties conveniently located within easy access to community resources.
Our Mission is to create opportunity by making quality, affordable housing accessible to all.
We believe the future of housing is small-scale, scattered-site, mixed-income developments.
We are building the future of housing in Maryland.
In 2022, we set an ambitious goal of adding 100 new units of affordable housing by 2025. Today, we manage a portfolio of over 70 units and are well on our way to meeting that goal. But that’s not all we’re doing. Our work is about more than just adding physical infrastructure—it’s about creating conversations throughout the community about what affordable housing can and should look like.
