Past Grants

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.

TAEL Enterprise, Inc.

For expenses related to relocation of female ex-offenders to a new transitional housing facility. In addition to providing five women with safe housing, TAEL offers assistance with applying for social service benefits, classes on job readiness skills, medical evaluations, referrals to health services, daily meals, and basic computer training.

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.

Talitha Cumi Safe Haven

For the purchase of computer equipment and furniture to enhance computer training for women recovering from substance abuse in the Park Heights area. As part of the support, the program will help women prepare for GEDs and prepare them for the job application process.

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.
