Congratulations to this new homebuyer in Coldstream Homestead Montebello, who purchased Healthy Neighborhoods, Inc.'s first home rehabilitated using Baltimore Vacants Reinvestment Initiative funding provided by DHCD! 🥳

The State is proud to support Baltimore's community development organizations working every day to revitalize neighborhoods and maximize the economic potential and quality of life for residents in Baltimore City.

HNI and Thriving Neighborhoods sold our first BVRI-funded property in Coldstream Homestead Montebello this week. Congratulations to the neighborhood’s newest homeowner! And special thanks to GARNER + CO for making this sale possible.

This sale represents more than just a newly renovated home—it’s a step toward creating a stronger, more vibrant neighborhood. Through strategic investment in vacant and underutilized properties, we’re helping bring homes back to life, expand homeownership opportunities, and support the continued revitalization of Coldstream Homestead Montebello.

We’re excited to celebrate this milestone and look forward to seeing this home and the neighborhood continue to thrive!
