The Mission of the Office of Community Conservation is to preserve, stabilize and enhance the human, physical and economic condition of the County's urban communities through cooperative public-private programs which address specific neighborhood concerns, and empower communities by fostering local self-reliance.
The Office is responsible for coordinating programs, policies, and capital improvements projects in Community Conservation Areas. The emphasis is on implementation strategies such as community empowerment, public/private partnerships and coordination of public/private action. In addition to urban residential neighborhoods, Community Conservation Areas include commercial revitalization areas and commercial corridors, and are identified in the Baltimore County Master Plan 2010. A map is included showing the areas.
The Office is comprised of five major components: Sector Coordination, Housing Opportunities, CDBG Grants Administration, Commission on Disabilities, and Grants to Community and Non-profit Organizations.
Funding is provided from the County's operating budget, the County's 6-Year Capital Improvement Program, State of Maryland, and Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnerships Programs (HOME).
The Office is staffed by 31 employees. A staff directory is provided as part of this web site for ease in contacting our agency.
