Project Highlights
New Construction in Baltimore
Billy Humphrey and his team were able to purchase a 50,000 sq. ft. building to expand their operation and efforts! You can see a concept of what the building will look like to the right. The COR Baltimore team has already partially moved into the building and it has helped grow their outreach. Along with the new building, they have launched a 2 phase $15 million capital fundraising campaign.

Now in its 25th year, City of Refuge has expanded to multiple sites around the country and 5 more locations are currently in the process of becoming City of Refuge Affiliates.
