At Maryland Volunteer Lawyers Service (MVLS), I run a project focused on keeping family homes in family hands. Vacant lots and rowhomes in West Baltimore reflect the long-term impact of redlining, tax sales, and disinvestment on Black neighborhoods.

For example, when we looked at seven lots that were demolished, four of them had passed through city ownership at some point. Together, we can help families hold onto their homes – and block by block, preserve the strength of Baltimore’s neighborhoods.
