the city of Baltimore for progress in various areas in Baltimore. Mayor Scott’s first term report are the kind of things we all should see from our elected officials. Great job! Baltimore City Mayor Brandon Scott released his first term report Tuesday, touting progress in public safety, youth programs, and more. Mayor Brandon Scott has been vocal about addressing violent crime in Baltimore. In Scott’s report, he discusses the city’s Gun Violence Reduction Strategy (GVRS), which he says “facilitates direct, sustained engagement with a small number of group-involved individuals who are the most likely to be the victim or perpetrator of violence.” In November, Scott credited the GVRS with a 34% decrease in non-fatal shootings between 2023 and 2024. During Scott’s first term, he sought to improve the overall health of residents in Baltimore City by investing in green spaces, improving sanitation, and addressing public health disparities. In 2022, Baltimore invested a historic amount of $90.4 million in homeless support services. Most recently, in 2024, the Housing Authority of Baltimore City saw a 12% increase in the amount of low-income households they assisted.
