BIG news for South Baltimore! 🎉
City of Refuge Baltimore has been awarded $1,028,794 from the Anne Arundel County Department of Health. The two-year grant will launch a Violence Interruption Program for young people ages 14–25 in North Anne Arundel County and South Baltimore.
The program adapts Cure Violence Global’s public health model, which treats violence as a learned behavior that can be prevented. Trusted, credible outreach workers from the community will meet young people where they are through mentoring, conflict mediation, and community mobilization.
“Our neighbors have experienced more than their share of violence; this program will provide needed resources to help identify and prevent violence for all of our residents, especially our youth.” — Billy Humphrey, Founder & Executive Director
