Living near your work -- and getting money for it
Maryland's largest private employer -- the Baltimore-based Johns Hopkins Institutions -- has upped its down payment and closing-cost help for employees buying homes near the university or hospital. The maximum, once $2,500, is now $17,000, Johns Hopkins announced yesterday.
That ranges depending on where workers want to buy. As you can see from this map, the largest grants go to people moving into the Harwood, Barclay, Greenmount West and EBDI neighborhoods.
Other employers provide down payment and closing-cost grants, too. You can see the list of companies participating in the state's House Keys 4 Employees program here.
