High-Quality Affordable Housing

Keeping Residents Rooted in Cherry Hill

High-quality, affordable homes that anchor families and build lasting generational wealth without resident displacement.

300+Acres of Neighborhood Context
100%Commitment to Zero Displacement
8,000+Neighbors Anchored by Stable Housing

Cherry Hill Strong is working to strengthen housing stability and expand access to quality, attainable housing so residents can remain rooted in Cherry Hill and have greater opportunities to build long-term stability.

That starts with listening to residents and working closely with tenant leadership, neighborhood advocates, and housing partners. Our work connects to the Cherry Hill Transformation Plan and aligns with broader efforts across South Baltimore, while keeping community voice at the center of how change happens.

We're focused on supporting current residents, expanding affordable homeownership, and ensuring neighborhood investments reflect what the community wants and needs. The Cherry Hill Development Corporation and Weller Development lead the mixed-income housing work, with an ironclad commitment to never displacing current residents and permanently maintaining affordability.
