Past Grants

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.

Baltimore Prevention Coalition

For the purchase of furniture, appliances, and related expenses for Beginning Effective Recovery Together, a transitional recovery program for women recovering from substance abuse. The purpose of the program is to reduce the recidivism rate by creating a safe, stable, and supportive environment for women with HIV or at risk of HIV infection.
