Past Grants

Planned Parenthood of Maryland, Inc.

Two-year funding for support of the Latino Outreach Program. The grant will provide for two full-time bilingual (Spanish/English) staff members to provide reproductive health care, family-planning services, and education programs for sexually active females. It is hoped that the program will reduce the number of teen and out-of-wedlock births.

Baltimore City Health Department (BCHD)

For support of BCHD’s Transforming Baltimore’s Public Health Clinics project, established to encourage greater utilization of Baltimore’s public clinics.

Public Justice Center, Inc.

For continued support of Medicaid Matters! Maryland, a coalition committed to ensure and expand access to the public health system for 700,000 children, disabled adults, seniors, and low-income Maryland residents.

Baltimore Homeless Services, Inc.

For research to support the implementation of the Housing First model in Baltimore City. In partnership with Health Care for the Homeless, the Housing First pilot project team has recruited the homeless from streets and parks, placed them in housing, and linked them to ongoing services. The outcomes of the pilot project will determine whether Housing First should be expanded as a viable strategy to help reduce homelessness.

Safe and Sound Campaign for Children and Youth

For the implementation of the Family Recovery Program, an initiative designed to reduce the length of time children spend in the Baltimore City foster care system. The program will provide case management support and substance abuse treatment for 250 parents whose children are entering foster care. It is expected that the time children of participating parents spend in foster care will be reduced by 50 to 70 percent.
