According to the city’s official press release, the City of Baltimore has announced a $2.4 million boon for the city’s neighborhood-based groups, allocating funding to promote growth and creativity in regions that have long suffered from systemic neglect.
In a statement released by the City of Baltimore Mayor’s Office, Mayor Brandon M. Scott said, “22 organizations are the newest recipients of the Community Catalyst Grants (CCG) program. These organizations range from community development corporations to faith-based organizations, and they are all working toward the same goal of revitalizing communities that have been consistently neglected in an effort to reverse a legacy of low housing values, high vacancy rates, and other socioeconomic ailments that have continued to plague these areas.”
“Today’s recipients are more than just grant awardees – they are essential partners in our shared mission to create a brighter, more equitable city,” Scott stated, highlighting the CCG’s contribution to the change of Baltimore by promoting equitable development. In a news release from the same city, Housing Commissioner Alice Kennedy also emphasized the Scott Administration’s commitment to directing funds where they are most needed, guaranteeing that the program’s effects go beyond short-term neighborhood enhancements and promote sustainability and resilience.
