BIP 2.0 The Problem

The Baltimore Integration Partnership is seeking to

overcome barriers to limited employment and economic

opportunities for Baltimore City low‐income residents.

This area of focus grows from our experiences in the first

round where the BIP found that the supply of jobs,

particularly entry level employment, was outstripped

considerably by the significant numbers of under and

unemployed residents.

unemployed in Baltimore City

Baltimore’s Eds and Meds

The Baltimore Metropolitan

Council is projecting that job growth in

the Baltimore region over the next

eight years in the education,

bioscience and medical industry

sectors will approach 100,000 new

jobs.

26 anchor institutions

influence Baltimore’s neighborhoods.

Eds and Meds Employment in Baltimore

38% of Baltimore City’s

employment was in the

education and health care

Eds and Meds represent the

region’s largest employers

BIP 2.0 Goals

Connect local, small and minority-owned businesses to

anchor procurement opportunities in Baltimore and the

region.

Make intentional local investments in real estate and

small businesses to foster and support broader

community benefit.

Insure equitable opportunity connecting low income

residents to jobs within anchors and anchor-supporting

businesses in Baltimore and the region.

BIP 2.0 Strategies

Remove barriers to facilitate the participation of

local/small/minority business in anchor purchasing

Foster anchor real estate and small business investment

decision making to leverage maximum intentional benefit

for communities

Remove barriers to training and employing local

residents in order to increase local hiring by anchors and

create a model for other industry sectors to adopt

The BIP 2.0 Next Steps

Launch workgroups and develop work plans:

Local Purchasing / Small Business Development

Local Hiring/ Workforce Development

Community Development / Capital

Through a collective impact approach, implement purchasing and

hiring pilots; identify and move forward capital opportunities driven by

anchors.

Identify and address barriers and policy challenges (anchor / public).

Track and evaluate progress; explore sustainability of initiative.
