GHCC Background
Begun in 1969 with support from the Johns Hopkins University, Union Memorial Hospital, and other private and public entities, Greater Homewood Community Corporation (GHCC) was established to assist neighborhoods in becoming safer, better places to live. We serve 40 neighborhoods with more than 70,000 residents - just over 10% of Baltimore City's population. Our geographic boundaries are extensive - the county line in the north, just below North Avenue to our south, along the Jones Falls in the west, and along York Road and Hillen Parkway including Ednor Gardens and Better Waverly to the east. Our mission is to strengthen neighborhoods in north central Baltimore through improving education, supporting youth development, and advancing economic development and community revitalization.
