Mission Statement

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 of Community Conservation 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 29 employees. (A staff directory is provided as part of this web site for ease in contacting our agency).
