Why partner with the community?
Baltimore CONNECT’s mission is to create and strengthen a collaborative network of community, faith-based and neighborhood organizations that advocate for the needs of people in Baltimore, and connect them to comprehensive and coordinated health and human services. We comprise a network of over 30 community-based organizations (CBOs) that predominately serve low-income individuals and families in East Baltimore. Given the breadth and scope of their individual capabilities, each Baltimore CONNECT CBO is able to individually serve hundreds of families each week. The diversity in skillsets of our CBOs enables us to serve many different populations. Many of the residents served by CONNECT CBOs seek assistance navigating health insurance matters or the healthcare system broadly. In some neighborhoods, our CBOs serve residents who are uninsured or underinsured. While facilitating connections to health insurance and healthcare, our CBOs prioritize the social needs of the residents in order to ensure they can make their health a priority.
What type of services do the Community Based Organizations (CBOs) offer?
Our CBO partners engage in direct service delivery primarily to adults. These services include:
Meal programs
Job readiness/career counseling
Temporary shelter
Mentoring/counseling
Drug/alcohol recovery
Nutrition counseling
Grief counseling
