Past Grants

Citizens Planning and Housing Association

Toward support of Access to Housing, a program designed to set standards for housing of homeless, ex-offenders, and recovering addicts. Baltimore Area Association for Supportive Housing (BAASH) will continually assess quality of housing for the homeless, and provide guidance on best practices. BAASH will train and provide technical assistance to new providers upon request.

Catholic Charities

For continued support of the Re-entry Partnership Initiative in West Baltimore, including salaries for the program director and casework coordinator. The initiative links offenders returning to the community with integrated services located in East and West Baltimore to provide transition from prison back into community.

Bright Hope House, Inc.

Emergency funding to cover interim operating costs of a residential drug treatment program in Sandtown-Winchester, until Bright Hope House becomes certified as a fee-for-service provider.

Baltimore Substance Abuse Systems, Inc.

For continued funding of the three-year Threshold to Recovery initiative. The program seeks to demonstrate that threshold centers are a low-cost, high-volume, and effective means of increasing access to treatment, retaining patients in treatment, and sustaining recovery. Threshold centers distinguish themselves from other drug treatment centers in that they remain open for extended hours, accept walk-ins, and offer alternative healing therapies such as Tai Chi, acupuncture, and meditation.

The Baltimore Station

Challenge grant for capital expansion and renovation of a residential substance abuse program serving homeless men in South Baltimore. The new 10,000-square-foot facility will include living space for an additional 41 men, which will increase Baltimore Station’s shelter capacity to 91.
