The GHI cooperative homes date to the 1930s and have specific rules and shared-structure considerations, so repairs need to respect both the age of the construction and the cooperative setting. We handle work on the historic core and on the city's newer stock.

Greenbelt is a genuine piece of New Deal history, settled in 1937 as a federally planned cooperative community and one of three Greenbelt Towns conceived under Rexford Tugwell, with Eleanor Roosevelt involved in the Maryland town's design. The original core, known as Old Greenbelt, was built in Art Deco, Streamline Moderne, and Bauhaus styles and is a National Historic Landmark District. Much of that original housing is still owned collectively through Greenbelt Homes, Inc., the cooperative that residents formed in 1952.

NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, established on Greenbelt's eastern edge in 1959, sits adjacent to the city and anchors the 20771 zip. Beyond Old Greenbelt, the city has grown with later residential areas and apartments, but the cooperative historic core gives Greenbelt a character and a housing model unlike anywhere else in the area.
