Homeowners & Civic Associations

Sustainable Maryland has received grant funding from the Chesapeake Bay Trust to develop and pilot the Sustainable Maryland Residential Action Framework and Outreach Campaign for homeowners and civic associations (check out this 8 minute video about this initiative).

(Please note: Sustainable Maryland Certification is currently available only to municipalities, not homeowners or civic associations)
