Baltimore Reimagined
A Block-by-Block Vision for Neighborhood Opportunity.
Baltimore Reimagined is NOW WE KNOW's long-term vision for neighborhood transformation across Baltimore City — built block by block, in partnership with the residents who live there.
The Vision
Stronger blocks. Stronger families. Stronger Baltimore.
We envision Baltimore neighborhoods where every resident has clear pathways to housing stability, meaningful work, education, and community. Where veterans find a home and a purpose. Where families build long-term prosperity on the blocks they love.
This isn't a one-time project. It's a long-term commitment to neighborhood transformation — measured in years, blocks, partnerships, and lives changed.
Theory of Change
People + place + partnership.
Strong neighborhoods are built when people, resources, and opportunity come together block by block. We strengthen residents, partner on the physical rebuilding of places, and connect the organizations that make lasting change possible.
