Project C.O.R.E. / Baltimore Vacants Reinvestment Initiative

Project C.O.R.E. or Creating Opportunities for Revitalization and Equity, provided funding to Baltimore City to demolish vacant properties, clearing the way for new green space and new affordable and mixed-use housing. The initiative led to safer, healthier and more attractive spaces for families to live and put down roots.

On October 1, 2024, Governor Moore signed an Executive Order establishing Reinvest Baltimore, a new unified and collaborative approach between the state and Baltimore City to solve the city’s vacancy crisis with many stakeholders at the table.
