Today marked the 3rd announcement of BVRI funding from @MDHousing for Baltimore neighborhoods to address the city’s vacant housing crisis. This historic step—announced at the Hammond in Johnston Square & paired with investments in homeownership incentives—is a huge step forward.
Progress! 🎉 Today Baltimore City added $1.6M to the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs bringing its budget to $5M & expanding legal/mental health services for immigrants.
Thx @Zeke_Cohen@MayorBMScott CW McCray, other councilmembers & BUILD leaders & allies who made it happen.
We’re building momentum in Franklin Square! 🌳
