The ARC Baltimore

The first house to be renovated as part of a partnership between The Arc Baltimore and the Home Builders Care Foundation was opened Nov. 10 2016. Councilwoman Cathy Bevins was on hand to present a Baltimore County Council Resolution marking the occasion. An open house event marked the renovation– which included the complete transformation of a kitchen and dining room so that they are accessible to the three individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities who live in the home “We are so impressed by the generosity and quality craftsmanship of the member companies in the Home Builders Care Foundation that participated in this renovation,” says Stephen H. Morgan, Executive Director of The Arc Baltimore. “They transformed this home and made it truly accessible to the people who live there for the daily tasks of cooking and cleaning and doing laundry – things most of us take for granted.” The total value of the renovation was nearly $56,000. HBCF member companies providing in-kind contributions included:

T.W. Ellis
John H Myers & Son
Conestoga Tile
Smart Energy Systems
Garrison Plumbing
Bob Ward Companies
Humpty Dumpsters
SBL Electric
