The Senior Wellness Activity Program (S.W.A.P.),which is a partnership
endeavor of the WBC CDC, and is supported by the Maryland Dept of Aging and the
Baltimore Health Department, for the past year had been meeting in the
multipurpose room of Wayland Baptist Church.
The S.W.A.P. volunteers receive lunch three day a week from the Eating
Together Program from the Baltimore Health Department. They serve a hot lunch to program participants and
provide a variety of activities designed to stimulate physical, social,
educational and spiritual well-being for seniors. We are pleased to report that this program
has moved to its new location at Wayland Village Senior Apartments, Senior

HOUSING WORKSHOPSThe WBC CDC has hosted a Home Buying Workshop for Garwyn Oaks Northwest Resource Center (GO Northwest), a HUD certified, nonprofit housing counseling agency that provides homeownership education, counseling, technical assistance and access to homeownership resources to equip and prepare people to obtain, maintain and retain their homes successfully. We believe that homeownership is the best vehicle for creating neighborhood stabilization---rental housing also plays a role. By partnering with GO Northwest, we provide a seamless transition from acquisition to rehab to homeownership education/counseling and finally to homeownership.
