Impact

Measuring What Actually Changes a Neighborhood.

NOW WE KNOW reports outcomes across Housing, People, Neighborhood, and Community Wealth — the results that show whether neighborhoods are genuinely stronger.

As NOW WE KNOW expands Baltimore Reimagined, we are building an impact measurement framework designed to track housing, resident stability, neighborhood investment, community wealth, and partnership outcomes.

We publish results only when they are verified. Rather than estimate outcomes, this page documents the indicators we are building the capacity to measure and report.

Measurement Framework

Four outcome domains.

Housing

  • Housing created or preserved
  • Vacant properties returned to productive use
  • Homeownership opportunities
  • Housing choice and affordability

People

  • Housing stability
  • Resident retention
  • Homebuyer readiness
  • Veterans supported
  • Workforce connections
  • Successful service referrals

Neighborhood

  • Capital attracted
  • Vacant land reused
  • Commercial activity
  • Neighborhood services
  • Local contracting
  • Resident engagement
  • Public-space improvements

Community Wealth

  • Homeownership
  • Resident equity
  • Local business participation
  • Employment opportunity
  • Neighborhood reinvestment
Accountability

Reporting as capacity grows.

NOW WE KNOW is an emerging community development platform. Initiatives described across this website reflect strategic direction and planned capabilities; they are not representations of funded, contracted, or completed projects.

As initiatives become operational, verified indicators will be published here alongside the partnerships and investments that made them possible.

Help us turn strategy into measurable neighborhood change.
