巴尔的摩空置住房再投资计划获全国州住房机构卓越奖
马里兰州州长韦斯·摩尔10月13日宣布，巴尔的摩市空置住房再投资计划（Baltimore Vacants Reinvestment Initiative）获得全国州住房机构委员会（National Council of State Housing Agencies）颁发的全国项目卓越奖。
该计划由州政府与巴尔的摩市合作推进，旨在收购、修缮长期空置的房产并重新投入使用，改善受空置住房问题困扰的社区环境，扩大可负担住房供给。
巴尔的摩市长期存在大量空置建筑，州政府近年将空置住房治理列为住房政策重点，投入资金支持市内多个社区的房产回收与再开发。
摩尔表示，该奖项肯定了州、市两级在处理空置房产问题上的合作模式，相关工作将在更多社区推广。
Baltimore Vacants Reinvestment Initiative Wins National Housing Award
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore announced Oct. 13 that the Baltimore Vacants Reinvestment Initiative has received a national Program Excellence Award from the National Council of State Housing Agencies.
The initiative, run jointly by the state and the City of Baltimore, acquires and rehabilitates long-vacant properties and returns them to use, improving neighborhoods affected by vacant housing and expanding the supply of affordable homes.
Baltimore has long dealt with a large inventory of vacant buildings, and the state has made vacant-property remediation a housing policy priority in recent years, funding property recovery and redevelopment in communities across the city.
Moore said the award recognizes the state–city partnership model for addressing vacant properties, and that the work will be extended to more neighborhoods.
