Administer housing and community development programs and activities for Anne Arundel County, including planning, funding, foreclosure and eviction prevention, affordable housing development, and services to prevent and address homelessness.
A defining feature of Arundel Community Development Services Inc is how tightly its grantmaking is tied to housing stability in Anne Arundel County. The foundation has supported eviction prevention, homeless housing, rental assistance, and related services through large local awards, including a $2,245,489 grant to United Way of Central Maryland for eviction prevention and a $2,198,161 grant to the Housing Commission of Aaco to provide housing for homeless residents. Its recent record also shows major support for emergency food assistance, youth services, and housing-linked behavioral health services. The grantee mix points to a county-level intermediary funder working through nonprofits, housing agencies, and service organizations rather than individuals. Several awards are structured around integrated support, such as housing paired with support services, mental health services, or case management. The overall pattern is local, county-specific, and aligned with programs that help residents stay housed, move into housing, or access the services needed to remain stable once housed.
Housing and homelessness are central to the foundation’s work. It gave $1,815,788 to the Housing Commission of Aaco for rental assistance for low- and moderate-income renters and support services, and $1,206,500 to The Light House Inc for transitional housing services. Food security appears alongside housing support: Anne Arundel County Food Bank received $1,926,348 for emergency food assistance. Youth and family services are another recurring theme; Aaco Partnership for Children Youth and Families received $1,649,887 for youth service programs, while Kingdom Kare Inc received $693,356 for youth mentoring programs. The foundation also backs housing-adjacent behavioral health work, including a $1,359,885 grant to Aa County Mental Health Ageny for housing and mental health services.
Typical grant sizes are substantial: the 25th percentile is $30,000, the median is $95,694, and the 75th percentile is $485,221. The recent grants list shows repeat support to the same organizations across multiple years, including United Way of Central Maryland, Housing Commission of Aaco, Anne Arundel County Food Bank, and Aaco Partnership for Children Youth and Families. That suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-off awards. The funder is classified as a regular funder and also makes program-related investments. Several active opportunities are listed as direct funding channels, and some accept unsolicited requests while others are invitation only.
