GHCC's mission is to build and strengthen vibrant urban communities in north central Baltimore. We envision a network of city neighborhoods that has:

- Safe, healthy, ecologically sustainable environments
- High-quality, affordable housing options
- Educational opportunities for all ages—including great public schools
- Abundant recreational and cultural amenities
- Convenient mobility choices
- Thriving commercial districts with responsible businesses
- A strong sense of community and civic engagement
- Diversity in age, race, faith, and economic status

We pursue a sense of common cause, where the well-being of each Greater Homewood neighborhood depends on that of the others.

For over 40 years, we've been grounded in grassroots community organizing and a steadfast dedication to building and strengthening vibrant urban communities.

Our work takes us to more than 40 neighborhoods in north-central Baltimore, and celebrate our 40th birthday in 2009 we endeavored to plant 40 trees in those 40 neighborhoods. We also just celebrated last year the 20th birthday of the Adult Learning Center, which has helped well more than 6,000 adults increase their skills since 1989.
