Baltimore residents seek violence prevention, mental, and behavioral health services as path to safer streets
Thank you for your participation in the OSI Baltimore Survey. The most important way to improve Baltimore neighborhoods, according to respondents in the Blueprint for Baltimore survey, is by creating safer streets. Asked how the city should allocate resources to respond to violence, respondents said city leaders should expand the Safe Streets program, improve access to mental health and substance use services, and improve witness and victim support. Respondents overwhelmingly said youth programs should be the top priority in the city budget. The information collected in this survey will be used at upcoming mayoral forums in order to guide discussions on implementing policies.
