Low Income Housing Initiative
About
This project focuses on the demolition of derelict housing as part of a broader effort to improve living conditions and support the development of safe, affordable housing.
The initiative aims to eliminate blight, enhance neighborhood safety, and create opportunities for future residential investment in the Crisfield community and is designed to expand affordable homeownership opportunities in Crisfield while supporting neighborhood revitalization and long-term community stability.
Interested development partners and prospective homebuyers are encouraged to contact Project Manager Jennifer Floyd at jfloyd@crisfieldcityhall.com to discuss collaboration opportunities and next steps.
