Home is more than a place to live—it’s where people feel safe, connected, and valued. It’s where neighbors look out for each other, where communities take shape, and where people have the opportunity to build the lives they choose. 

Fello Communities brings that vision to life. By building homes and investing in neighborhoods across Maryland, we’re creating places where people don’t just live—they belong. 

Built for Belonging  

For nearly two decades, Fello Communities has been building high-quality homes with the stability and support people need to live well. 

Today, we’re creating neighborhoods and communities where people of all abilities and backgrounds can live, connect, and belong.  

By pairing housing with community-focused development, we’re helping neighbors build relationships, access the services they need, and feel part of the place they’re proud to call home. It’s an approach that has shaped Fello Communities into a force for housing equity. Guided by the belief that neighborhoods influence outcomes as much as homes do, we invest in communities—strengthening infrastructure, enhancing service, and creating spaces for neighbors to come together.  

More Than a Home  

The Laura House in Easton, MD, is a reflection of what’s possible when housing is designed with belonging at the center. 

Nearly fully leased, the 6,000+ square-foot mansion-style building features seven two-bedroom apartments, with a mix of affordable and market-rate options. Inside, spacious apartments feature modern finishes inspired by Easton’s historic character, while the design prioritizes comfort, accessibility, and quality.  

What makes The Laura House stand out isn’t just the building—it’s what it represents.  

It brings together people with different backgrounds, incomes, and experiences in one shared place. And it demonstrates how thoughtful, inclusive development can expand access to high-quality housing without sacrificing community character. 

Housing Can’t Wait  

Maryland’s housing shortage is growing. Today, Maryland needs 100,000 homes—a number that could grow to 590,000 in the next 20 years. 

When there aren’t enough homes, prices go up, and choices go down—leaving Marylanders on lower incomes unable to afford safe and quality housing. People with disabilities and historically underserved communities are especially at risk of housing insecurity.  

But solving the housing crisis isn’t just about building more units. It’s about building the kinds of communities where people can live near their work, access services, and stay connected to what matters in their lives. 

Building What Comes Next   

Fello Communities is making that possible, building quality homes in vibrant communities that bring people together and empower them to shape their futures.   

“With over a hundred housing units built and eight major development projects underway, Fello is committed to creating new opportunities for Marylanders to live their lives the way they choose in the communities where they want to be,” said Ross Benincasa, Fello Community’s Senior Vice President of Community Development. 

That vision is grounded in a simple idea: when people have access to stable housing, strong communities, and access to support—everything else becomes possible.
