StreetWell

StreetWell is a Baltimore-based social impact company working to transform distressed properties in historically marginalized neighborhoods into affordable, sustainable housing while creating pathways to opportunity for people facing barriers such as addiction recovery or reentry after incarceration. Its approach combines property revitalization with job training, community empowerment, and environmental stewardship to build stronger, more resilient neighborhoods. The company acquires and renovates neglected properties, renting them out at market rates or to public voucher recipients to expand affordable housing options. At the same time, it employs and trains individuals overcoming hardship, giving them hands-on experience in renovation and construction. By engaging residents directly, StreetWell fosters community ownership and long-term neighborhood stability rather than short-term turnover. Impact investment plays a key role in financing its work, allowing the company to align capital with social and environmental outcomes. Alongside its housing and workforce initiatives, StreetWell integrates green infrastructure into its projects, planting trees, building raingardens, and reducing runoff to create ecosystem benefits. Though based in Baltimore, StreetWell is also focusing efforts in Hagerstown, Maryland, with the goal of expanding its model of affordable housing, workforce opportunity, and community resilience.
