The maximum time of residence is 90 days, the average is 15 days. Residents of Calvert County must be given preference.

Clients are required to actively pursue goals for housing, employment, treatment, education, etc. as needed. Counseling, referral to other social service agencies, medical prescriptions, rental, and mortgage assistance, and recommendations for permanent housing are also provided to the residents.

Through the Transition Housing Program families are provided a house to live in while they work to restore their financial stability. During their stay, residents are required to save a fixed percentage of their earnings to be used toward a security deposit or down payment for permanent housing.

Since opening its doors in 1992, Project ECHO has helped more than 1,000 homeless clients.
