Acknowledgments
We are grateful for the hard work of the author of this report, Lora Engdahl, who, for the first time, pulled together a wide array of different source materials and interviews on the Baltimore Housing Mobility program. Other key contributors to this process include Jim Evans of Metropolitan Baltimore Quadel, Philip Tegeler of the Poverty & Race Research Action Council, Amy DeHuff of Citizens Planning and Housing Association, Barbara Samuels of the ACLU of Maryland, and Stefanie DeLuca of the Sociology Department at Johns Hopkins University. Thanks are also owed to ACLU paralegals Laura Corcoran and Niambi Murray, and intern Linda Cole, who conducted the annual participant surveys; operations manager, Alison James, who helped develop the ACLU survey database and analysis; law student volunteer Rachel Simmonson who helped write up the survey reports; Peter Rosenblatt, a PhD candidate and colleague of Professor DeLuca at Johns Hopkins; and PRRAC Law & Policy Fellow Catherine Vel. Many thanks as well to our copy editor, Kelley Ray, of Citizens Planning and Housing Association and Andy Cook, for his photography of Baltimore Housing Mobility Program participants.
This report would not have been possible without the more than 500 Baltimore Housing Mobility Program participants who have taken the time to respond to surveys administered by the ACLU of Maryland. All were willing to share their personal experiences and to provide thoughtful comments in the hope that doing so would improve the program and enable more families to benefit from it. A special thanks is owed to the participants who opened up their homes to interviewers and photographers. While all of the participant stories in this report are real, fictional names are used to protect the privacy of the participants and confidentiality of the sources.
Our gratitude also extends to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and to the Housing Authority of Baltimore City for funding and supporting this important program. We are also indebted to the many organizations that have invested in program enhancements through the Baltimore Regional Housing Campaign. Their support of pilot efforts and program-wide services helped ensure the success of the Baltimore Housing Mobility Program.
The Baltimore Regional Housing Campaign is a coalition of local and national civil rights and housing policy organizations that works to ensure that public policies and private investments are aligned to overcome historic divisions by race and class. The BRHC envisions a Baltimore region where all families have the right and the means to live in high opportunity communities with excellent schools, economic prosperity, and low rates of poverty.
Support for the Baltimore Regional Housing Campaign has come from a wide range of sources, including the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the Open Society Institute, the Abell Foundation, the Morton K. and Jane Blaustein Foundation, the Krieger Fund, the William G. Baker Jr. Memorial Fund, the Ford Foundation, and the Baltimore Community Foundation.
