Baltimore Housing Nonprofit Faces Funding Scarcity Amid Affordability Crisis
What happened
FACE, a housing support nonprofit in Baltimore, reported that it has received less than $10,000 in public funding over 25 years, forcing it to rely on private contributions. The organization noted that the city distributed tens of millions of federal COVID-19 dollars to other nonprofits during that period. This situation was highlighted by Michael Burke, a Baltimore County sheriff candidate, who questioned the continuation of programs receiving funding that might be fraudulent.
