Baltimore City (MD) Profile

Team Profile Summary

Limited availability and unequal access to housing and educational resources over a sustained period of time have become systemic and not only obstructed quality of life opportunities for the children, youth and families of Baltimore City, but have led to institutional practices which create inequitable outcomes in housing and education that manifest in preventable "excess" death and disease.  The Baltimore Place Matters team seeks to develop polices and the institutional transformation necessary to eliminate systemic and historical impacts of racism and its effects on housing and education differentials in the city.
