Black Women Build - Baltimore

black women build – baltimore is an innovative home ownership initiative that works with black women to rehabilitate vacant and deteriorated homes while providing support for life-based skills such as financial literacy, counseling, and nutrition all of which promotes social and economic freedom. black women build – baltimore believes that training women in trades-related work not only provides a tangible set of skills to be used on other jobs and in the home but allows women to make 2-3 times more in wages than traditionally female-centered jobs. we provide a safe and supportive community where women can learn carpentry, electrical, and plumbing during home improvement projects in the upton and druid heights neighborhoods of west baltimore. most importantly, we create homeownership opportunities by rehabilitating distressed properties which the participants will own.
