Interfaith Community Housing of Delaware (ICHDE) has developed several new or rehabilitated communities in New Castle and Kent Counties, as well as new and rehabilitated scattered sites throughout the city of Wilmington. With low-income rental units available in all of these developments, we welcome the unique opportunity to develop guidelines and schedules helping families out of subsidized housing into market-rate rental units and, through our HomeOwnership Education Center, ultimately on to the road to homeownership.
Currently, ICHDE rental units are managed by a private management agent working off of waiting lists for all of our sites. However, applications are being accepted for the various waiting lists. The waiting period varies from site-to-site and unit size. Please contact ICHDE at (302) 652-3991 or email for current rental contact numbers. The rental properties are as follows:
