This security program in the Coldstream Homestead Montebello community was made possible by the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development’s Community Health and Safety Works program.

The program provides grants to local governments and nonprofits to implement crime prevention strategies through physical improvements, operational activities, and community vigilance and maintenance.

“This initiative creates an additional layer of security that sends a clear message to lawbreakers that we are vigilant in our effort to deter crime and foster a sense of safety and connection among residents,” said Mark Washington, Executive Director of the Coldstream Homestead Montebello Community Corporation in a news release. “It also strengthens our collective effort to build a safer, more resilient community for everyone.”
