Waverly students celebrate the groundbreaking for their new school building, slated to open in 2014.

The more I found out about GHCC’s mission of strengthen-ing community in Baltimore, the more I wanted to support that mission. I’ve always felt that developing relationships with people is what life is all about, and GHCC’s focus has always been about connecting people with each other and with opportunity.

– Steve Goodman, Better Waverly

GHCC uses its reputation, influence, expertise, and grassroots reach to affect

public policy and ensure funding for education and neighborhood revitalization.

Starting in 2003, GHCC worked to gain state funding for a new Waverly

School building to replace substandard conditions that affect achievement.

We led an advocacy campaign that mobilized parents, residents and partners

to demand an adequate school building, finally winning a state commitment in

2009 to fund a $25 million new building. On June 5, 2012, hundreds gathered

to celebrate a groundbreaking ceremony on school grounds. This new building

—a bright, nurturing, inspiring space that will model urban sustainability with

LEED silver certification and green roof spaces—represents a major victory for

students and families who have long endured substandard school conditions.

Waverly, Oakenshawe, and Ednor Gardens-Lakeside families are now one step

closer to getting the new Waverly Elementary/Middle School building they

have been waiting for.


n e w i n v e s t m e n tp r o m o t i n g

The upcoming rejuvenation of the formerly abandoned Lebow Building on Oliver and Barclay Streets into the Baltimore Design School is a great example of cooperative code enforcement efforts among GHCC, Baltimore City, and community partners.

Baltimore faces tremendous challenges as we continue to lose population. Unless we make real, structural changes that strengthen our neighborhoods, we’re not going to bring middle class families back to the city. That vision and leadership isn’t going to come from City Hall or Washington or the Internet, but from groups like GHCC with feet on the ground addressing neighborhood issues head on.

– Mark Counselman, Oakenshawe

Reducing vacancy and blight is a key strategy for community

revitalization, and GHCC works with community leaders

to identify and abate the most dilapidated properties by

targeting them for attention from Baltimore Housing. As

a result of our code enforcement efforts in 2012, 15 key

properties were renovated bringing $2.7 million worth of

investment into the community. Over 50 additional vacant

properties were reoccupied, significantly reducing overall

vacancy in north central Baltimore. In conjunction with our

intervention model, Baltimore Housing is now rolling out

enhanced code enforcement in seven priority neighborhoods

where vacant properties are a serious issue.


GHCC’s Neighborhood Programs focus in middle-market and lower income

neighborhoods in order to improve the overall quality of life in north central

Baltimore. Our strategies to strengthen these neighborhoods include

improving public schools, facilitating private and public investment, strategic

code enforcement, and developing neighborhood leadership.

Through our Healthy Neighborhoods program we work to strengthen Charles

Village, Remington, Ednor Gardens-Lakeside, and Waverly Village by marketing

homes to a wide audience, building home ownership, and implementing a

variety of resident-led block improvement projects. In addition, our community

organizers provide technical support to residents through Block Captain

Trainings, Neighborhood Leaders Forums, and the Neighborhood Institute.

Our Healthy Neighborhoods work generated $1.7 million in investments into

our communities through purchase, refinance, and home improvement loans.

We organized over 30 home buying fairs, reaching at least 1,200 prospective

buyers.

We trained 70 residents to be Block Captains.

We held our best-ever Neighborhood Institute, providing 150 attendees with

a daylong event featuring a menu of workshops and speakers—all providing

tips and tools for making neighborhoods great places to live.

Our Neighborhood Institute spurred a follow-up series of leadership

trainings that provided over 130 seasoned and new community leaders

an opportunity to learn about the best practices for keeping their

neighborhoods clean, safe, and vibrant.

Baltimore is often called the City of Neighborhoods and it’s important for those neighborhoods to stay connected. GHCC is a valuable organization because of its commitment to improving north Baltimore, solving any issues that come up and providing a large scope of services for residents and businesses. Every community in Baltimore should have an organization like it.

It means the world for my grandchildren to have access to so many different programs and activities. Keep ‘em coming.

– Joyce Carter, Waverly grandparent

Every neighborhood and every child needs

a great school and we know schools cannot

do this work alone. For over a decade,

GHCC has worked to provide local public

schools with academic resources, health

and social services, facility improvements

and after school programs. In each of our

schools, we employ full-time site coordinators

whose establish partnerships and then do

the legwork to implement programs that

help the school, its children and families.

Because we do this work, principals and the

educators can focus on academics. GHCC

helps make it possible for the community

to come together for the common goal of

improving their neighborhood school. Last

year, we coordinated over 100 programs and

managed over 20,000 volunteer hours at

four schools, leveraging well over $1 million in

much needed resources.

Barclay elementary/middle students are greeted every day by a colorful mosaic mural

entrance, created by local artists, students and neighbors. GHCC coordinated the

creation of the mural along with a fresh coat of paint for the interior of the school.

At Guilford elementary/middle, GHCC coordinated the implementation of a newly

renovated cafeteria, entrance courtyard, science and art rooms, and nearly $300,000 in

facilities improvements made possible by a community donor.

GHCC successfully advocated for funds to build a brand new school building for

students at waverly elementary/middle, while spearheading a broad effort for academic

quality improvements.

GHCC ensured that margaret Brent elementary became an official Community School

site with an integrated focus on academics, health, social services, and enrichment.


We have seen hope in a lot of occasions throughout our lives. I saw a remarkable sign of hope in GED classes when my classmates passionately participated in class after a long day of hard work hoping to build a better future. This is the most beautiful form of hope I have ever seen. I would like to thank all my teachers here as well as all who organized this great environment. Thank you.

– Adult Learner

An estimated 99,000 Baltimore City adults do not have a high school diploma,

enough to fill Ravens Stadium and over half of Oriole Park. Still more lack

the basic literacy skills necessary to succeed in life and work. Baltimore’s

literacy challenge has serious implications, not only for the individual whose

opportunities are limited by a lack of education, but for that individual’s family

and for the entire community. Without reading and math skills, adults are

less employable, less civically engaged, and less involved with their children’s

schooling.

The Greater Homewood Adult Learning Center annually provides free

Adult Basic Education and ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages)

classes to more than 600 adults annually. We also run a Workforce Program

that offers educational and workforce services for low-moderate income job

seekers, including facilitating outreach and conducting intake, providing

educational training and support, and referring individuals for appropriate

barrier removal services.

l i f e l o n g l e a r n i n gs u p p o r t i n g


GHCC’s Non-Profit Business Services fill a variety of administrative needs for organizations

engaged in charitable activities. These services range from basic fiscal sponsorship to full back-

office support, including accounting and money management; fundraising and communications;

human resources, benefits, and payroll management; and legal and technology support. Eligible

groups can also utilize GHCC’s non-profit status to accept tax-exempt contributions. GHCC

provided these services to 37 organizations in FY12.

in America through building sustainable

change that supports economic opportunity,

education, healthy futures, and veterans

and military families. GHCC sponsors VISTA

projects at various nonprofits throughout

Baltimore City. Including the VISTA Leader,

GHCC sponsored 15 VISTAs, working to make
