MD · Baltimore City · Possible provider: Greater Baybrook Alliance
Greater Baybrook currently offers a $10,000 base forgivable loan and an additional $5,000 Live Near Your Park bonus. Maryland awarded $250,000 to the overall homebuyer-assistance program for FY2027. We confirmed exact base eligibility in Brooklyn, Curtis Bay, and Brooklyn Park, but GBA does not publish the selected parks or bonus blocks and makes that decision after application.
Official information incomplete
The administrator publishes the bonus amount and case-by-case process but not the selected parks, eligible blocks, address list, or distance rule.
These are the actual questions standing between this lead and publication—not a vague completion score.
Yes. GBA and Live Baltimore describe a current $10,000 base benefit plus $5,000 for qualifying park-adjacent blocks.
Greater Baybrook Alliance current program page ↗Yes. Maryland DHCD’s FY2027 awards list gives $250,000 to Greater Baybrook Alliance for the Baybrook Home Buyer Assistance Program, including the Live Near Your Park incentive.
Maryland DHCD State Revitalization Programs Awards FY27 ↗The public sources do not say. GBA says specific blocks close to selected parks and explicitly makes the determination after application. The current flyer and public application do not publish a map or list.
Greater Baybrook Alliance current program page ↗No. The source uses selected parks and specific blocks, while the state’s broader award description uses on or adjacent to a public park or green space. Neither publishes a distance threshold. A generic radius would create false positives.
GBA administrator page and Maryland DHCD award description ↗No. GBA expressly says FHA products cannot be layered with its assistance.
Greater Baybrook Alliance current program page ↗The base program is published with exact area matching. Only an automatic claim to the extra $5,000 is withheld because the administrator has not published the controlling block list.
