Devolpment without Displacement
The Southwest Housing Action Plan outlines a bold strategy to revitalize housing across seven neighborhoods in Southwest Baltimore. With a focus on addressing vacancy, increasing homeownership, and supporting current and future residents, the plan aims to reduce vacant homes by nearly 40%, increase homeownership by 12%, and expand access to healthy, age-friendly housing options.
The plan emphasizes Development without Displacement and includes targeted pilot programs in Franklin Square, Hollins-Roundhouse, and Mount Clare to rehabilitate over 500 homes within 10 years, eliminating 95% of vacancies in prioritized areas. By aligning housing efforts with economic, workforce, education, and health initiatives, the plan provides a roadmap for equitable and sustainable neighborhood revitalization.
