Center For Hope

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE, COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING, AND MISCELLANEOUS GRANTS

ALTHOUGH BALTIMORES POPULATION HAS DECLINED OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, VIOLENT CRIME CONTINUES TO RISE. BALTIMORE WAS RECENTLY NAMED THE FOURTH MOST DANGEROUS CITY IN THE COUNTRY, WITH THE DIRECT ECONOMIC COST OF CRIME, INCLUDING VICTIM MEDICAL NEEDS, CALCULATED AT $7,230 PER CAPITA. IN 2022, THE CITY REPORTED 333 HOMICIDES AND 688 NONFATAL SHOOTINGS. THIS WAS THE SEVENTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR THE CITY HAS SEEN MORE THAN 300 HOMICIDES. ENHANCING THE COMMUNITY VIOLENCE INTERVENTION AND PREVENTION ECOSYSTEM IN BALTIMORE (CVIP ECOSYSTEM) ENGAGES YOUNG PEOPLE, PRIMARILY BETWEEN THE AGES OF 1724, AT THE HIGHEST RISK FOR RETALIATORY OR ESCALATING VIOLENCE, INCLUDING INDIVIDUALS RECENTLY RELEASED FROM PRISON, THOSE KNOWN TO CARRY WEAPONS, INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE RECENTLY SURVIVED A GUNSHOT WOUND, INDIVIDUALS WITH GANG AFFILIATION, AND THOSE WITH HISTORIES OF VIOLENT BEHAVIORS. THE CVIP ECOSYSTEM FOCUSES SERVICES ON THE SIX CFH SAFE STREETS SITES CATCHMENT AREAS, FOUR ON THE EAST SIDE OF BALTIMORE AND TWO ON THE WEST SIDE. RECENT SAFE STREETS SITE EXPANSION HAS CREATED A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO ENHANCE AND DEEPEN THE IMPACT OF THE SAFE STREETS PROGRAM, WHICH IS PROVEN TO REDUCE GUN VIOLENCE. THE CVIP ECOSYSTEM WILL ENHANCE THE IMPACT OF SAFE STREETS FROM THE GROUND UP, EXPANDING FRONTLINE SERVICES, IMPROVING COORDINATION AND STRATEGIC PLANNING FROM THE TOP DOWN, UTILIZING THE CURE VIOLENCE MODEL, AND INTEGRATING PRINCIPLES OF POSITIVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT TO ENGAGE HIGH-RISK YOUTH. FUNDING FOR THE CVIP ECOSYSTEM WILL CREATE DELIVERABLES INCLUDING A GAP ANALYSIS, ACVIP WORKING GROUP OF INVESTED COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS, A COMPREHENSIVE STRATEGIC PLAN, AND AN EXPANDED AND ENHANCED PROGRAM TEAM AT CFH. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS STRATEGIC, DATA-DRIVEN PROJECT WILL ALLOW CFH TO MEASURE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE CVIP ECOSYSTEMS ABILITY TO EFFECTIVELY CHANGE COMMUNITY NORMS AROUND VIOLENCE.

ACH DEVELOPED FROM COMMUNITY MEETINGS IN 2017 THROUGH THE COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT EXECUTED DURING THE ACQUISITION OF SMYTH COUNTY COMMUNITY HOSPITAL BY BALLAD HEALTH. DURING THIS IMPORTANT WORK OF COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSET AND NEED EXPLORATION, THE PASSION AND CARE FOR THE HEALTH AND WELLBEING OF THE AREA WERE EVIDENT ALONG WITH A COLLECTIVE DESIRE TO DO MORE TO ADDRESS THE SIGNIFICANT HEALTH IMPACT OF SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER (SUD) IN THE MOUNT ROGERS REGION. THE GROUP CONTINUED TO MEET, ACQUIRED 501C3 STATUS AND CONFIRMED RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT AND RECOVERY HOUSING TO BE THE TWO MOST NEEDED RESOURCES IN THE REGION AND PROJECTS TO COLLABORATE. IN 2021, THE VIRGINIA GENERAL ASSEMBLY AGREED TO DONATE A STATE-OWNED BUILDING TO SMYTH COUNTY WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT IT WOULD BE USED BY ACH TO ADDRESS SUD IN THE COMMUNITY.

THIS FUNDING OPPORTUNITY WILL GIVE ACH THE CAPACITY TO CREATE THE GROUNDWORK FOR THE RENOVATION OF THE BUILDING, INCLUSIVE OF HVAC, ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING, AND ROOFING REPAIRS, AND THE CREATION OF PLANS FOR HOW A RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT CENTER CAN BE ESTABLISHED IN A SUSTAINABLE AND COLLABORATIVE MANNER.
