Love Where You Live
Our Mission
The mission of Greater Homewood Community Corporation is to build and strengthen vibrant urban communities in north central Baltimore.
Established in 1969, Greater Homewood Community Corporation (GHCC) serves an expansive area collectively known as “Greater Homewood” that encompasses 45 diverse neighborhoods and accounts for nearly 13% of the City’s population. Our work centers on the pillars of vibrant urban living: safe streets, good and diverse quality housing stock, quality schools, and livability. We pursue a sense of common cause, where the well being of each Greater Homewood neighborhood depends on that of the others.
Our Vision
