Past Grants

Baltimore Mental Health Systems, Inc.

Two-year support of the Forensic Assertive Community Treatment Team (FACTT), offering mental health care, substance abuse treatment, and health care to ex-offenders. This program supports those with severe mental illness who are functionally impaired and at high risk of inpatient hospitalization. Maintaining a link with the criminal justice system, FACTT will provide services 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The intent is to reduce the rates of recidivism, homelessness, and anti-social behavior.

The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine

Toward support of a two-year hospital-based buprenorphine project. The project identifies heroin-addicted patients who frequently use emergency rooms or other hospital services for primary health reasons and, through a specifically designed buprenorphine intervention, connects the patient to treatment.

Baltimore Police Department

Toward the cost of hiring nine retired police officers to monitor 82 closed circuit television cameras in three areas of the city: Greenmount Avenue, Monument Street, and Park Heights Avenue. The purpose of the “CitiWatch: Active Monitoring and Crime Prevention” initiative is to ensure the safety of Baltimore’s residents, workers, and visitors.
