Creating community doesn’t happen overnight. We want to provide the tools and resources to build strong community. All homebuyers attend The Block Captain’s Boot Camp offered by No Boundaries Coalition. This evening leadership program is designed to give residents the knowledge and skills to organize in their community around the issues that are important to them.

Whether you are a savings account pro or new to the process, we want to provide you with the tools to succeed. We provide financial education and counseling.

In the classes offered by Station North Tool Library and the Baltimore Tool Bank, you will learn both tool literacy and practical skills to help you maintain your home. Our goal is to help you understand what’s happening behind the walls and learn common maintenance tasks for a healthy home.
