The C.A.R.E Housing Incentive Program (CHIP) makes living near work an exciting possibility for Johns Hopkins employees, and now offers a reward to those who wish to make one of East Baltimore’s most sought-after neighborhoods home.
Starting Fall 2015, this new Live Near Your Work (LNYW) incentive will provide (10) LNYW-CHIP-map-2015$20,000 supplement grants to Johns Hopkins employees who wish to purchase a home in the C.A.R.E. community. The $20,000 incentive can be combined with the existing $6,000 grant currently offered through the Johns Hopkins Live Near Your Work (LNYW) program for a total of $26,000 to each home purchaser on a first come, first served basis.
C.A.R.E. is part of the Old East Baltimore Historic District, and bordered by North Washington Street, East McElderry Street, North Patterson Park Avenue and East Fayette Street. Situated in an ideal metropolitan location, residents enjoy a walkable commute to Johns Hopkins Medical Campuses, direct access to public transit routes, proximity to the Metro Subway, and easy access to major highways.
Northeast Market and Atwaters Bakery are Baltimore local dining staples, and conveniently located in major neighborhood thoroughfares. Shopping and entertainment districts in Canton, Butcher’s Hill, Fells Point, Highlandtown and Harbor East are a stone’s throw away, as well as many public amenities including Patterson Park, which features tennis courts, swimming, an observatory, several natural wildlife habitats, recreational programming and arts festivals.
The C.A.R.E. Housing Incentive Program is open to all full-time, benefits-eligible employees at:
