Past Grants

The Samaritan Center

For continued support of the Eviction Prevention Assistance program at The Samaritan Center, designed to provide emergency grants to individuals and families facing eviction. Aside from providing a one-time grant directly to the landlord, the Center’s case manager will refer the unemployed to Catholic Charities’ employment services and assist clients in applying for other income supports, such as food stamps and Medicaid Earned Income Tax Credit.

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.

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.

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.

Paul’s Place, Inc.

Toward improvements to the first and second floors and elevator, and for the purchase of furnishings, equipment, and playground equipment for a community outreach center serving poor and marginalized residents of Pigtown.
