Maryland is making sustained, large-scale investments in evidence-based direct services across housing, health, youth justice, and workforce. The Department of Housing and Community Development funds Rental Housing Works, UPLIFT, and Baltimore Vacants Reinvestment Initiative (BVRI) to produce income-restricted homes, reduce vacancy, and deliver EmPOWER energy-efficiency upgrades for low-income households. The Department of Health invests in programs such as Housing First, Permanent Supportive Housing, Healthy Homes for Healthy Kids, and and Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV), all with strong or promising evidence for improving health outcomes for individuals across the lifespan and community stability. The Department of Juvenile Services deploys proven interventions such as Multisystemic Therapy (MST), Functional Family Therapy (FFT), and credible messenger programs to reduce recidivism and support youth and families. The Department of Labor invests in WIOA services, registered apprenticeships, and targeted initiatives in direct care, offshore wind, and cyber to connect residents to in-demand jobs. The State Department of Education’s Child Care Scholarship expands access to quality early learning. Together, these programs fund what works.
