Housing Opportunity
Connecting residents to housing-related resources, partnerships, and revitalization efforts across Baltimore.
Impact & Progress
Honest progress. Built block by block.
NWK is a growing Baltimore institution. We report progress as it happens — through milestones, partnerships, and the people we serve.
How We Measure Success
Relationships, partnerships, and opportunities created.
NOW WE KNOW measures success through relationships, partnerships, opportunities created, and community impact. As the organization continues to grow, we remain focused on building sustainable pathways that strengthen people and neighborhoods.
Foundational Programming
Where our work has been grounded.
Since its inception, NOW WE KNOW has emphasized workforce readiness, soft-skills development, education, leadership development, and community-based opportunity building.
Community Focus
Five priority areas.
Workforce Development
Career and entrepreneurship pathways aligned with employers and opportunity sectors.
Veteran Support
Housing, employment, and community support for veterans and military families.
Education & Life Skills
Readiness, soft-skills, and leadership development for residents of all ages.
Community Partnerships
Joint programming with civic, faith-based, workforce, and development partners.
Community Engagement
We start by listening.
Lasting neighborhood change begins with residents. NOW WE KNOW is investing time in conversations with Baltimore families, veterans, neighborhood leaders, and institutions to understand what's working, what's missing, and where opportunity can take root. Those conversations shape every program we design.
Partnership Development
Stronger together.
Our founding partnership with Bravo Two LLC, a veteran-led development and implementation organization, anchors the housing and revitalization pillar of Baltimore Reimagined. We are actively building additional partnerships with civic, faith-based, workforce, and veteran service organizations aligned with our long-term vision.
