Neighborhood Housing Services of Baltimore (NHSB) works to increase affordable homeownership in Baltimore City and to catalyze neighborhood investment in the Greater Mondawmin and Coppin Heights communities of West Baltimore. NHSB’s Homebuying Center offers homebuyer education, pre-purchase counseling, financial coaching, homebuyers clubs, down payment assistance, and alternative credit first mortgage lending. Its homeownership preservation services include consumer rehab loans as well as loans and grants for essential home repairs that allow low-income seniors to safely age in place. This grant provided core operating support.

The Central Baltimore Partnership (CBP) has served as the catalyst for investment and revitalization of the area from Mount Royal Avenue north to 23rd Street, between Howard Street and Greenmount Avenue. CBP’s numerous volunteer task forces have been instrumental in the creation of hundreds of units of new and rehabbed housing, both affordable and market rate; commercial development; creating an employment recruitment and referral pipeline for area residents; and introducing a private microenterprise organization to provide small loans to area businesses. This grant provided core operating support.

Founded in 2008 by Reverend Al Hathaway during his tenure as Pastor of Union Baptist Church, Beloved Community Services Corp. (BCSC) was created as an umbrella organization to provide a range of services in the 21201/21217 zip codes. After securing $15 million in New Market Tax Credits, Federal and State Historic Tax Credits, and corporate and philanthropic support, BCSC opened the new Justice Thurgood Marshall Amenity Center in July of 2024. This grant provided support for BCSC’s ongoing operations.
