Past Grants

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.

Transitioning Lives, Inc.

Two grants for a reserve operating fund in support of residential, outreach, and advocacy programs for ex-offenders. Transitioning Lives houses up to eight ex-offenders for a period of up to six months and offers a highly structured program of counseling, job-readiness training, and homemaking.

Baltimore Substance Abuse Systems, Inc.

For an independent audit of treatment-utilization data submitted by substance-abuse treatment providers. The purpose of the audit is to assess the timeliness and accuracy of data collected by the BSAS-funded substance-abuse treatment providers, and to increase the efficiency of the system and accessibility of treatment slots.
