Shalom Square, developed by HHPC in 1979, is a Section 8/202 subsidized housing complex at 6200–6280 Foreland Garth in the Long Reach Village of Columbia. It serves elderly and disabled low-income residents in a 50-unit garden-style complex comprising 15 efficiency units and 35 one-bedroom apartments.

In 2016, plans began for substantial rehabilitation through the State of Maryland Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Program. HHPC was awarded its first-ever Tax Credit project in December 2017. Financing included the State 4% LIHTC and bond financing, an Energy Grant, CDBG funds, and a PILOT from the County. Construction partners included Southway Builders, Wiencek and Associates Architects, Chesapeake Community Advisers, and the legal team of Carney, Kelehan Bressler, Bennett and Scherr. Tax credit partner: Cinnaire.

Work was completed December 31, 2018. Upgrades included all-new appliances, cabinets, countertops, flooring, windows, and fixtures; in-unit washers and dryers; new Hardie plank siding and roofs; updated sidewalks and landscaping; and a fully renovated Community Building with accessible bathrooms, kitchen, meeting room, library and management office. Five fully accessible units and two units for the sight- and hearing-impaired were created. In 2019, the property received a Maryland preservation award and is frequently requested for community tours.

In 1988, with financial assistance from the State of Maryland and Howard County, HHPC partnered with the Enterprise Social Investment Corporation to acquire a 60-unit apartment complex at 3570–3586 Court House Drive in Ellicott City. Formerly known as Venus Gardens, Ellicott Terrace Apartments was incorporated as Ellicott Terrace Inc. and converted to a nonprofit in 1992. Its five one-bedroom and 55 two-bedroom apartments provided affordable housing for low- and moderate-income families.

The Ellicott Terrace property was transferred to the Howard County Housing Commission in April 2009. HHPC served as management agent until redevelopment began in 2010. The property is now part of a larger complex known as Burgess Mills.

In 1988, HHPC developed a group home acquisition and management program for physically and mentally challenged individuals. Supported Living, Inc. (SLI) and Residential Opportunities, Inc. (ROI) emerged from a consortium including the Howard County Association of Retarded Citizens (HCARC), Adaptive Living, Catholic Charities, HUMANIM, and HHPC. Funding for SLI's 18 group homes came from state and county sources, the Baltimore Regional Community Development Corporation, and the Enterprise Loan Fund. ROI's seven group homes were financed through HUD's 811 PRAC Program and the County.

Over the years, additional entities were formed through further HUD PRAC grants and partnerships:

1998 — HHPC and HUMANIM were awarded a HUD PRAC 811 grant to establish Transitional Housing Resources, Inc. (THRI), which purchased three SLI group homes.

2000 — HHPC partnered with Adaptive Living to develop Progressive Housing Partners, Inc. (PHPI), purchasing three additional SLI homes.

2002 — HHPC and HUMANIM established Access Homes, Inc. (AHI), purchasing two SLI group homes.

2007 — The County's CDBG program funded a major renovation of a group home on Cloudburst, incorporating Universal Design elements and energy-efficient upgrades.

2008 — A HOME Program loan funded a new handicap-accessible group home on Torrent Row — the first to earn platinum certification from the National Home Builders Association and LEED certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.

2010 — HUMANIM developed two new group homes (BB Homes) through HUD PRAC 811, with HHPC as management agent.

2016 — HHPC and Arc of Howard County modified a group home on Red Lake to improve accessibility for aging residents, funded in part by a $130,000 bond bill from then-State Delegate Guy Guzzone.

2020–2023 — Several homes were sold or transitioned: the Hickory Log home (sold to HUMANIM, 2020), Our Time Lane (sold, 2021), and the Sharp Antler home (leased to Compass, 2023). In 2023, HHPC also secured maintenance work for the remaining 26 homes in the ARC portfolio.

All of these entities are managed by HHPC, with oversight by the Housing Partners Board — which includes two representatives from each organization.

In 2011, HHPC was awarded the management contract for St. Matthew House, a Section 811 property in Kings Contrivance with 15 one-bedroom units that provides housing to persons with physical disabilities.

Since assuming management, HHPC has completed numerous upgrades: new roof and windows; a state-of-the-art secure visitor entry system with in-unit monitors; new key card entry; whole-building Wi-Fi; replacement flooring throughout; freshly painted shared spaces; and new patio, porch, and dining furniture, along with new shared-kitchen appliances.

The Perpetual Revolving Fund (PRF), a division of HHPC, was organized in 1977 when 40 Columbia families each donated $100 to seed affordable housing development. PRF funds are available for housing under federal and state programs and seek alternative methods of expanding the stock of low- and moderate-income housing through private-sector partnerships.

1987 — PRF purchased 13 units in Clary's Common, later sold to first-time low- and moderate-income homebuyers who were former HHPC rental residents.

1990 — Through the Home Purchase Assistance Project, PRF partnered with the Columbia Foundation to provide second-trust real estate notes for eight qualifying homebuyers in the Diversified Homes Meadowfield Project.

2002 — PRF partnered with the Howard County Housing Commission in a shared equity program, securing seven affordable townhouse units at Orchard Club for direct sale to first-time homebuyers.

2007 — PRF began developing three lots in Lennox Park, Elkridge, as affordable homes for low- to moderate-income families who live or work in Howard County. A fourth adjacent lot was sold to Habitat for Humanity. Homes sold in April 2009, supported by CDBG and HOME funds.

2018 — PRF purchased an MIHU homeownership unit in partnership with the Housing and Community Development Department and has been acting as owner and agent.

2019 — PRF was merged with HHPC.

Oakland Place (2019) — In December 2019, with support from the Howard County Housing Department, HHPC purchased Oakland Place, a 16-unit townhome community on Oakland Mills Drive in Columbia. Each unit has 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a garage; the property includes four MIHU units.

Bridges to Housing Stability (2018–2023) — HHPC served as property manager for the Bridges Alliance Program, providing leasing, rental support, accounting, and maintenance services for up to 56 scattered-site homes throughout Howard County. HHPC's management contract concluded in 2023.

HopeWorks (2019–2021) — HHPC provided maintenance services for HopeWorks, which supports victims of domestic violence, rape, and sexual trafficking. This agreement ended in fall 2021.

Help End Homelessness Howard County (2019–2022) — HHPC provided leasing, rent, and maintenance services for HEHHC's five Howard County homes. In summer 2022, these units transferred to the Bridges Alliance Program and continued under HHPC management until the Bridges contract ended.

CHAI HOPED (2020–present) — In October 2020, HHPC entered a management agreement for CHAI HOPED's six independent living homes in Baltimore City — HHPC's first work outside Howard County — providing resident services, leasing, and maintenance support for residents with mental health challenges.

The Pue Fulton House (2021–present) — HHPC manages leasing, rent, accounting, and maintenance for two units developed within a historic farmhouse at Dorsey's Ridge in Ellicott City (one is an MIHU). When construction ended in 2023, the house was transferred to the Howard County Historical Society, which retained HHPC for continued management.

Fort 700 (2022–present) — A management agreement for five scattered-site houses in Bel Air, Parkville, Nottingham, and Pasadena — all part of the Baltimore Regional Housing Authority.

Homelessness Programs (2023–present) — HHPC entered an agreement with Humanim for Howard County's McKinney I and II and Shelter+Care programs, serving over 50 clients. HHPC handles unit move-in/move-out, annual inspections, certifications, rent reasonableness determinations, re-certifications, and utility allowance calculations. In 2024, The Coordinating Center became the service-provider partner, deepening HHPC's direct engagement with the county's homelessness programs.
