Past Grants

Chesapeake Center for Youth Development, Inc.

Capital funding for Phase Two of the Millennium Renovation Project to include a library, private counseling offices, and additional classrooms. The Chesapeake Center, operating as an alternative school, provides year-round instruction and supportive services for students referred by the Department of Juvenile Justice. The goal is to prepare students for return to a former school, to earn a GED, or to receive pre-employment training.

BUILD Fellowship, Inc.

Toward general operating expenses for outreach programs serving men and women recovering from substance abuse.

Baltimore Substance Abuse Systems, Inc.

For an evaluation of the Addiction Severity Index (ASI). ASI is the substance abuse assessment tool currently mandated by the Maryland Alcohol and Drug Abuse Administration for use by treatment providers receiving state funding, including those in Baltimore City. The study will help determine the effectiveness of the assessment.

Baltimore Substance Abuse Systems, Inc.

For support of the Threshold to Recovery program initiative, which seeks to demonstrate that threshold centers are a low-cost, high volume, and effective means of increasing access to treatment, retaining people in treatment, and sustaining recovery. Threshold centers are different from traditional drug treatment centers in that they are 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 the second year of funding in support of operating costs of Seton Hill Station, a residential addiction recovery program for homeless men. With plans to expand its treatment capacity from 25 to 40 beds, Seton Hill Station offers long-term transitional services that address drug and alcohol addiction. Residents are encouraged to participate in life skills and job training, and to find employment and permanent housing.
