Baltimore Community Foundation

We’re happy to announce that Preservation Alliance of Baltimore County was awarded a $27,778.00 grant from the Baltimore Community Foundation to support our Aging in Place, Aging in History program.

With these funds, we were able to expand our assistance to limited-income Baltimore County Senior Citizen homeowners to help them with needed repairs, like roofs and restoring windows, to their historic homes. Preservation Alliance is very grateful for the Baltimore Community Foundation and CEO’s and President Dr. Shanaysha Sauls’ support.

Our goal is to preserve our County’s irreplaceable historic buildings and help our Senior neighbors, the stewards of our communities, stay in their beloved historic homes. In 2025 when were able to assist seven members of our community with much needed roof replacements and safety repairs.

We are worked in partnership, and pooled and combined funds with, on this project with Civic Works and the Baltimore Department of Aging. To qualify, the applicant(s) must be over 62, own a home built before 1945 (the house does NOT necessarily need to be listed on any national nor local historic registry), and, as a single person, make no more than $42,800 yearly, or $48,000 as a couple. Please contact director@preservationabc.org for more information.

While the program in open to all who fit this criteria, we are especially focused on communities in the Eastern part of Baltimore County, like Dundalk, affected by the Key Bridge collapse.

Also, please consider directly donating to our Aging in Place program to support historic home repairs for those who fall slightly beyond the guidelines for this program, but still need assistance.
