Casey Connects: Winter 2008

Why is a foundation devoted to disadvantaged children supporting major redevelopment projects in Baltimore and beyond? Casey’s community change strategy is grounded in the belief that improving distressed neighborhoods will boost children’s odds for success. The Winter 2008 issue of Casey Connects highlights efforts in Baltimore and other cities to promote responsible redevelopment -- to ensure that residents who either stay or are relocated truly benefit and that the rebuilding process is carried out in partnership with the community. more >>
