BALTIMORE, MD (Wednesday, April 5, 2023) – Today, Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement Executive Director Shantay Jackson and Roca Maryland Executive Vice President Kurt Palermo released a statement following the Board of Estimates approval of Roca’s service provision contract with Baltimore City:

“MONSE and Roca stand proud to forge ahead in the service of young Baltimoreans through Baltimore’s Group Violence Reduction Strategy. Today’s Board of Estimates outcome affirms the unwavering dedication of both Roca and the City of Baltimore to take a public health, community-centered approach to trauma reduction and violence intervention, especially amongst our highest risk young people. We look forward to continuing the work, alongside partner Youth Advocate Programs Inc.
