House Keys 4 St. Mary's County

On Tuesday, June 13, 2006, St. Mary's County adopted a local version of a state program to assist local government employees in buying a home for the first time.  The Board of Education of St. Mary's County at the June 28, 2006, meeting passed a resolution endorsing and supporting the program.

The House Keys 4 St. Mary's County Program is a home ownership and mortgage assistance program, matched by the state, to assist eligible employees.  Eligible employees include individuals who work for county government, the library system, St. Mary's County Public Schools, and volunteers of fire, rescue and advanced  life support units.

The program assists eligible county employees in purchasing a home in St. Mary's County by contributing a grant of $2,500 toward down payment and/or closing costs.  Through a combination of county and state funds, eligible county employees could receive up to $12,500 toward the costs of purchasing a home in St. Mary's County.  Grants are limited, so it is suggested that, if you are interested in this program, you should contact Ms. Sue Sabo, Director, St. Mary's County Human Resource Department (301-475-4200, extension 1100).
