Welcome
A Message from Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake
Dear Citizens,
As a Council Member, Council President and now Mayor, I have been concerned with the number of Baltimoreans experiencing homelessness. Like many of the city’s greatest challenges, it is bigger than government. We cannot end homelessness with money alone – we need smart and effective programs. We need people in the community to do their part.
With “The Journey Home,” Baltimore City has a comprehensive plan for ending homelessness. I am confident that working with our partners in the faith, not-for-profit and business community, we can ensure that in the future, homelessness will be rare and brief for people in Baltimore.
The more than 4,000 people experiencing homeless on any given night need our support. During my term as Mayor, I am committed to sustaining the city’s funding of efforts to move homeless residents into permanent supportive housing. Once in a stable environment, individuals and families will have an opportunity to thrive in their community again.
Together, we can make Baltimore better, safer and stronger.
Sincerely,
