Neighborhood Vital Signs: Resources in Brooklyn and Curtis Bay

Baltimore City is home to approximately 600,000 residents in over 250 neighborhoods. Each neighborhood boasts their own personality and sense of community, but unfortunately not each can boast access to needed resources and support.

Over the past several years Del. Lewis has worked with the Brooklyn and Curtis Bay communities to bring additional resources to these areas.
