The Charles Village Community Benefits District is a special taxing district located in a 100 square block area of north-central Baltimore. With a population exceeding 14,000 and more than 700 businesses, it is comprised of seven neighborhoods: Abell, Charles Village, Harwood, Old Goucher, and parts of Remington and Barclay. The CVCBD provides supplemental sanitation and safety services, and supports community events, recreational activities and the development of amenities such as green spaces. Using its data analysis capabilities, CVCBD’s supplemental public safety program makes decisions about safety patrol deployments and has realized significant decreases in crime in targeted areas. This grant provided funding to expand public safety efforts.
