Big smiles as BENI accepts a “big check” in the amount of $6,500 from Fulton Bank towards Homeownership services.

Shanelle Myles had been looking for a home in Belair-Edison for some time. When she found the perfect home that had everything she wanted – including an open kitchen, hardwood floors downstairs and wall-to-wall carpet upstairs – she was “thrilled” to learn about the down payment grant program that she could use towards the purchase of her new home on Erdman Avenue.
The Buy In Belair-Edison incentive program was created by Belair-Edison Neighborhoods, Inc. (BENI) with funding from the Baltimore Regional Neighborhood Initiative program, as a way to attract new home buyers to the community and help drive investment to targeted blocks. These home purchase grants are offered at a $5,000 ad $2,000 level.

Dorsey, President of the Board of Directors. “Will has been a true asset to Belair-Edison, bringing a wealth of knowledge of both the organization and the community, building upon decades of successes throughout the neighborhood.”
