Organization: Healthy Neighborhoods Inc
Mission: To help Baltimore communities forge strong connections among neighbors to market their communities, increase home values and create high standards for property improvement.
Activities: Program Services - HNI brings funding and services to support the improvement of 41 "middle" neighborhoods in Baltimore City. The resources include below market loans for purchase and home renovation, operating and marketing support for neighborhood organizations, free design advice for rehabbers and partnerships with neighborhood schools.
BEI - The Department of General Services, Energy Office, was awarded as a result of the Exelon settlement, the Customer Investment Fund, to be used towards grants and loans to assist energy conservation activities in nonprofits and small business, particularly those serving the disadvantaged in the city.
OMR - Within the "One Mile Radius" there are three district geographic areas: the Northwest Community Planning Forum SNAP, the Liberty-Wabash area, and Coldspring Newton. The overall goal of this spending is to make sure all areas benefit from projects funded by this revenue source and that there is some measure of equity in the funding allocation.
