Center for Hope

Baltimore is making history.

For the first time in more than 50 years, our city recorded fewer than 10 homicides in a single month.

These numbers represent something far greater than statistics. They represent lives saved, families kept whole, and communities strengthened.

At Center for Hope, we are proud to be part of the collective effort helping make this progress possible. Every day, our Safe Streets teams, hospital-based violence intervention specialists, PAAVE staff, therapists, advocates, and community partners work to prevent violence, support healing, and create opportunities for change.

We have seen the impact firsthand. In May, Sinai Hospital recorded only five gunshot wound admissions.

While there is still work to do, Baltimore's progress reminds us that violence prevention works and that communities can heal when we invest in people.

Thank you to everyone helping create a safer and more hopeful future for Baltimore.

Community. Prevention. Resources. Hope.

This Gun Violence Awareness Month, join Center for Hope and our community partners as we connect Baltimore residents with resources that support health, safety, wellness, and opportunity.

Together, we can create stronger, safer communities.

More moments from Spring Bling at Center for Hope 💙✨

Held on May 14, Spring Bling was more than just an event. It was a celebration of creativity, connection, and youth leadership.

We’re still reflecting on all the unforgettable moments shared by the incredible young people in our KUJI and DIVAS programs. From laughter and dancing to meaningful conversations and community, the energy throughout the evening was truly inspiring.

These photos capture even more special moments from a night our youth helped bring to life with their vision, passion, and teamwork. We are so proud of them and grateful to everyone who helped make Spring Bling such a success.
