MonteVerde Rowe Welcomes New Homeowner
 Progress continues at MonteVerde Rowe where AHC Greater Baltimore is transforming the 2600 block of Violet Avenue. This month, AHC-GB sold their third, fully renovated house to another first-time home-buyer.
The new homeowner grew up in the Park Heights neighborhood and knows the community well. She also knows all too well the struggles facing many in the community and is excited to be a part of positive change that is taking place. She is a true success story!
In addition to the three purchased homes, AHC-GB recently completed full, historic renovations on four other homes on the block that are also ready for sale. Two additional homes will be renovated this summer as the project continues to serve as a positive force for change in the community.
To learn more about MonteVerde Rowe, take a virtual tour of the beautifully renovated homes, or find out about down-payment assistance and other programs available to assist home-buyers, visit the MonteVerde Rowe website.

Resident Services Assistant Director Emily Ward and student Eskinder Mesafint were among the AHC group who visited ODU. E |
Exposing our students to the opportunities and excitement of going to college is a major emphasis of AHC's Teen Tutoring program.
Recently 23 students and their parents toured Old Dominion University (ODU) in Norfolk. The trip was a big success and several students are very interested in the school.
Eskinder Mesafint, a senior at Washington-Lee high school was particularly excited because he has received a generous scholarship to the school.
Eskinder has been a part of AHC's Teen Program since 7th grade. He hopes to study communications with a concentration in media studies.
The ODU trip was the Teen Program's third college tour this school year. Students have previously visited George Mason University and the University of Maryland at College Park.
