As part of the State of Maryland's More House 4 Less program, Calvert County was the first County in the State to join the House Keys for Employees initiative. House Keys for Employees provides additional opportunity for affordable home ownership for the County's working population. It is an employer partnership initiative that matches funds for closing costs and down payments for eligible employees to purchase a home. Eligible employees are those who have not owned a principal residence in the last three years, and meet specific eligibility requirements. Local match for private sector and public sector employees could total up to $5,000, equivalent to the State benefit/contribution.

The County government is also a participating employer in the program and provides matching funds for eligible County government and public school system employees. Click here to view the entire press release.
