Strong City Baltimore

JHU helped establish Strong City Baltimore, formerly the Greater Homewood Community Corporation (GHCC) in 1969, and has made significant annual financial contributions since. Additionally, JHU employees serve on its board of directors, and provide techni­cal assistance to the organization. Strong City Baltimore helps neighborhoods in north central Baltimore City become safer, more attractive places to live by strengthening neigh­borhoods through the improvement of educational opportunities, constructively engaging youth, building a new sense of community, and promoting positive eco­nomic development.
