Sandtown-Winchester Harlem Park Community
We serve the heart of West Baltimore, focusing on the Sandtown-Winchester and Harlem Park corridors. This community carries a dual legacy: a rich history as a cultural Mecca in the 1950s and 60s, and a modern-day struggle against systemic neglect.
With 1 in 3 houses sitting vacant and a poverty rate that remains among the highest in the city, the need for holistic support is urgent. We serve:
- Returning Citizens: Providing the stability needed to break the cycle of incarceration
- Families in Transition: Supporting mothers and children impacted by community trauma
- Individuals in Recovery: Offering trauma-informed care for co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders
Challenges we address:
- Gambling
- Homelessness
- Unemployment
- Underemployment
- Drug and alcohol abuse
- Disabilities
- Mental health issues
- Financial deprivation
- Recent incarceration
We serve those ready to reclaim their future and transition into a life of stability and purpose. A Step Forward, Inc. provides more than just a place to recover; we offer a community of support. Our clients have access to comprehensive health resources, professional counseling, vocational training, and secure housing, creating a foundation for lasting success.
