our program
Black Women Build – Baltimore is a home ownership and wealth building initiative built on an intersectional model. Our goal is to create opportunities for Black women, and their communities, to thrive.
HOME OWNERSHIP
Our program is an innovative home ownership initiative that works with Black women to rehabilitate vacant and deteriorated homes. Our holistic program integrates knowledge, skill, and opportunity. We meet M-Th 9 – 3 for 4 months and participants have the opportunity to purchase the home upon completion.

CREATING COMMUNITY
Our hope is that the rehabilitation of these West Baltimore homes, and their first-time Black women homeowners, is a spark that can inspire change, build lasting connections between community members, and be a catalyst for positive growth.
BUILDING SKILLS & KNOWLEDGE
+ POTENTIAL JOB OPPORTUNITIES
The knowledge and skills learned during the build can also open doors to job opportunities in the Building Trades with reliable income.
FINANCIAL EDUCATION
Participants in our program earn a Home Ownership Counseling certificate from a city-approved counseling agency at start of each build. We compliment this education with weekly workshops during the build that cater to specific needs of the individual cohorts.
