The city of Baltimore is selling vacant homes for a dollar apiece to revive struggling neighborhoods.
Currently, more than 13,000 homes in the city sit vacant, often abandoned due to high rates of violent crime.
The city now owns close to 1,000 of them, in what’s amounted to an unsuccessful bid to address the decades-old problem.
However, with the new program passed by Mayor Brandon Scott, individual buyers and community land trusts will now be eligible to buy the city-owned vacant homes for as low as $1.
