Who We Are

The Mayor’s Office of Homeless Services (MOHS) helps people in Baltimore who don’t have a home. Our goal is to make sure fewer people become homeless, and if they do, they find a home quickly and don’t become homeless again. We work with other government groups and community organizations to make sure our city does the best job it can responding to those in need.
