COMMUNITY EVENTS:

The Mayor’s “Vacants to Value” SummitMembers of the WBC CDC board attended Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake’s “Vacants to Value” Summit on February 10, 2011 held at the Baltimore Convention Center and have been attending monthly update meetings each month. This all day event focused on what Baltimore City will do to address the impact of vacant and abandoned housing in our communities. We are pleased to know that our plan for neighborhood stabilization aligns with that of Baltimore City.

Greater Northwest Development RoundtableWe continue to participate in the meetings of the Greater Northwest Development Roundtable (Friends of Forest Park, Central Forest Park Neighborhood Assoc., Howard Park Civic Assoc., Project Garrison, Garwyn Oaks Northwest Housing Resource Center, Garwyn Oaks United Neighbors, and Forest Park Golf Course Assoc). Some of our initiatives include assisting in developing a new mini-Strategic Neighborhood Action Plan (S.N.A.P.) for the northwest corridor; including establishing a new supermarket in Howard Park; acquisition of Garrison Woods complex and developing economic strategies to enhance the quality of life.

Garwyn Oaks Northwest Housing Resource Center

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.

Neighborhood StabilizationIn keeping with our plan for stabilizing housing in the Forest Park community, the WBC CDC is moving to complete rehab of 3917 Fairview Ave. RFQ’s were sent out and three credible replies were received and one contractor was selected. Applications to lending institutions are begin forwarded. Discussions are also being made with Baltimore City housing to establish a CHDO as a part of the WBC CDC.

WHO COULDN'T USE EXTRA CASH ...EITC means a big refund!
Make sure you see if you qualify for Earned Income Tax Credit.

Free tax preparation and efile for income earners making less than $52,000.00.

Contact me (Tanya Washington) for more details at 410-415-3143.

2015 is just a few days away so gather your receipts, social security cards and daycare information. If you are self employed, make sure you have all income information from your employers.

Also here are ideas for deductions

1. Qualified charities. You can only deduct gifts you give to qualified charities. Use the IRS Select Check tool to see if the group you give to is qualified. Remember that you can deduct donations you give to churches, synagogues, temples, mosques and government agencies. This is true even if Select Check does not list them in its database.

2. Monetary donations. Gifts of money include those made in cash or by check, electronic funds transfer, credit card and payroll deduction. You must have a bank record or a written statement from the charity to deduct any gift of money on your tax return. This is true regardless of the amount of the gift. The statement must show the name of the charity and the date and amount of the contribution. Bank records include canceled checks, or bank, credit union and credit card statements. If you give by payroll deductions, you should retain a pay stub, a Form W-2 wage statement or other document from your employer. It must show the total amount withheld for charity, along with the pledge card showing the name of the charity.

3. Household goods. Household items include furniture, furnishings, electronics, appliances and linens. If you donate clothing and household items to charity they generally must be in at least good used condition to claim a tax deduction. If you claim a deduction of over $500 for an item it doesn’t have to meet this standard if you include a qualified appraisal of
the item with your tax return.

4. Records required. You must get an acknowledgment from a charity for each deductible donation (either money or property) of $250 or more. Additional rules apply to the statement for gifts of that amount. This statement is in addition to the records
required for deducting cash gifts. However, one statement with all of the required information may meet both requirements.

5. Year-end gifts. You can deduct contributions in the year you make them. If you charge your gift to a credit card before the end of the year it will count for 2014. This is true even if you don’t pay the credit card bill until 2015. Also, a check will count for 2014 as long as you mail it in 2014.

6. Special rules. Special rules apply if you give a car, boat or airplane to charity. For more information visit IRS.gov.

P.S. Get a record of your past tax returns, also referred to as transcripts. IRS transcripts are often used to validate income and tax filing status for mortgage applications, student and small business loan applications, and during tax preparation.

You can download and print your transcript immediately or request the transcript be mailed to your address on record.

Baltimore's Top Neighborhood Dads

Last week, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake hosted the annual "Baltimore’s Top Neighborhood Dads" luncheon at the Vollmer Center at the Cylburn Arboretum. In its sixth year, the Top Neighborhood Dads contest honors strong and dedicated Baltimore men for their efforts to make their neighborhood and community better, safer, and stronger. This year, nearly 50 men were nominated by their neighborhood associations for their efforts.

"It is an honor to host an annual celebration to ensure your hard work does not go unnoticed," said Mayor Rawlings-Blake. "By doing what is right—mentoring young people, cleaning up after storms, helping older neighbors—you add to the quality of life in our growing city."

Senior Wellness Center

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 Wellness Center.

In addition, bolstered by a memorandum of understanding between the WBC CDC and the Helene Fuld School of Nursing of Coppin State University to provide a nurse practitioner for the residents of Wayland Village and an agreement from Kernan Hospital to provide the services of their aquatic therapy pool, there is considerable excitement about the senior wellness center.
