Bayit CHWs meet residents in homes and community spaces across Maryland.
Bayit Community Land Trust is a Maryland 501(c)(3) public charity founded in 2019 in Burtonsville, Maryland, and now rooted in Silver Spring (1220 Spring Street, Silver Spring, MD 20910). For years, the organization has built community outreach infrastructure through the EssentialNow program and the HART Act — a legislative advocacy initiative working toward a Maryland state proclamation that recognizes residents through an awardee program and supports their pathway into workforce development and long-term stability.
In 2026, the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT) approved the Bayit Community Land Trust name — giving formal identity to the community development work built since the organization's founding. The mission, the programs, and the people are the same. The name is new.
Bayit CLT's integrated AHLT model ensures that support remains coordinated — not just for today's residents, but for every family that follows. Stability is not a luxury. It is the precondition for everything else.
"We don't just connect people to services. We build the conditions for a stable life."— Eneshal Galloway, Founder & Executive Director, Bayit Community Land Trust
Workforce navigation, health, and transportation support developed as one coordinated ecosystem — not isolated services.
Every program connects to the others. A workforce client gets health navigation. A health client gets transportation support.
Every resident is met with respect, not charity. We build capacity, not dependency.
Our Programs
Our workforce navigators provide one-on-one coaching, job placement support, and skills training referrals — helping residents build careers that sustain family wellbeing.
Bayit-trained Community Health Workers meet residents where they are — in homes, clinics, and community spaces — bridging the gap between social services and healthcare to address the root causes of instability.
In partnership with Vehicles for Change, we help low-income Maryland workers access reliable transportation — because getting to work is the first step to building a stable life.
Who We Work With
Bayit CLT sits at the intersection of community development, workforce services, and faith-based service. We partner with organizations across all three sectors to build the infrastructure that makes lasting community stability possible in Maryland.
The Bayit CLT Model
Lasting community stability requires workforce partners who build economic mobility, health navigators who address root causes, and service organizations who connect families to support. Bayit CLT coordinates all three.
Our Impact
Every number represents a Maryland family that found stability, a worker who found employment, a resident who found their way home.
