Parity Homes
Virtual Project Manager
Join Us in Rebuilding Communities
Parity Homes is seeking a detail-oriented and collaborative Virtual Project Manager to help keep our construction projects running smoothly. This role is perfect for someone with strong organizational skills and experience in project management who is excited to contribute to a mission-driven team transforming Baltimore's abandoned rowhomes into vibrant communities.
Parity innovatively breathes new life into blocks of long-abandoned rowhomes in West Baltimore. By leveraging social capital, we create upfront demand for affordable homeownership opportunities through community-based purchasing models. Our work is centered on development without displacement, ensuring that historically marginalized residents are able to benefit from and direct the reinvestment in their neighborhoods.
We are more than a homebuilder; we are reimagining how neighborhoods are valued and invested in. With collaboration, warmth, and craftsmanship at the heart of our culture, we are a small but growing team that treats every member as an equal decision-maker. Together, we are building not just homes, but pathways to wealth and community resilience.
