Deep Roots is a 20-acre facility with a central dining hall with a professional kitchen, chapel, and office building. There is a playground for children, a communal garden and a pavilion. We are located in Earleville, MD, approximately 15 miles south of Elkton, MD and 15 miles west of Middletown, DE.
We have up to 12 apartments available for families with children who are experiencing homelessness. We can house approximately 36 people at any given time and are usually at full capacity. Most of our families are from Cecil County, MD, Kent County, MD, and New Castle County, DE but we regularly welcome families from all across the state of Maryland plus our neighboring Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and beyond.
In addition, we have a few private apartments available for long-term, full-time, live-in volunteers.
Questions about availability, wait list, and entry for the housing program should be directed to our office (410) 275-2194 or directly via email to our Case Manager casemanager@deeprootsinc.org.
