Sinai Hospital of Baltimore

Toward support of an interim methadone maintenance study for clients participating in the Sinai Hospital Addictions Recovery Program. The study has been designed to evaluate both the efficacy and cost benefits of interim methadone treatment as compared with prompt entry into “comprehensive” treatment including counseling on enrollment, heroin use, cocaine use, HIV-risk behavior, and crime.

NCADD-Maryland (National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependency)

Community Law Center, Inc.

Two-year support of the Project to End Predatory and Deceptive Real Estate Practices in Baltimore City. This grant will fund an investigatory report examining transactions behind the illegal “We Buy Houses” signs to determine the legality of settlement schemes and practices of the participating appraisers, title companies, attorneys, mortgage brokers, and lenders.
