The Steppingstone Housing Program offers agreement-based room rentals in clean, shared homes across the Baltimore metro area — paired with hands-on coaching, accountability, and structure.
It’s built for individuals with serious barriers to housing — people who are ready to move forward but need a stable space, real support, and a team in their corner.
This is not free housing.
This is structured, transitional housing for people who are ready to do the work.
If you’re focused, ready for structure, and want to prepare for renting independently — this is for you.
It’s not a shelter, but it is a transitional housing program. We accept people with serious housing barriers and work with you to eliminate those.
You’ll sign a rental agreement, not a lease. You’re expected to pay rent, follow rules, and build toward long-term housing — with full support from TCSH along the way.
Yes. You must be able to pay rent for your room.
We accept:
TCSH homes are located across the Baltimore metro area. You’ll have your own private bedroom and share common areas like kitchens and bathrooms.
All homes are regularly monitored, professionally cleaned, and built for peace, structure, and safety.
Rooms are private for individuals.
If you’re a single parent, you and your child will share one room. All housemates are screened, coached, and expected to respect shared spaces. This is a shared living model — and our coaches help keep it running smoothly.
Resident Support Coaches in Steppingstone are hands-on and consistent. They:
They’re here to support, not to supervise — but you’ll know they’re present and active.
There’s no strict end date, but this is not a permanent placement.
The goal is to stabilize, grow, and transition — and your coach will work with you to build that timeline.

For people ready to do the work.
This program is for tenants who are rebuilding. That means you’re driven. You’re focused. You’re ready to move forward — and you want more than just a roof. You want stability.
