Baltimore is brimming with potential, but because of historic segregation, disinvestment, and persistent racial discrimination, we have yet to fully realize all we can be. The Abell Foundation is committed to improving health, economic, and educational outcomes in Baltimore City so that all people can thrive.
The Funders Together to End Homelessness Baltimore at Maryland Philanthropy Network is pleased to launch its 2024-2026 Strategic Direction. FTEHB’s robust three-year plan outlines specific actions this funder network will carry out. FTEHB is committed to adapting to the changing circumstances of those who are unhoused; the realities faced by government leaders, public and private funding; and what it can learn from emerging best practices. The group’s members are excited to have come this far and recognize this as the beginning of a new chapter in their work together.
The Abell Foundation has long focused its efforts on alleviating poverty and in recent years has more consciously framed its work in terms of addressing the effects of Baltimore’s historic segregation, disinvestment, and persistent racial discrimination. Like many, it has been prompted by the anniversary of Gray’s death to assess what has changed in the last 10 years.
