Baltimore’s commitment to treatment on request has placed the city at the forefront of drug policy innovation.  In 1998, treatment was available for only one in three of an estimated 5 million Americans with severe drug problems (not including alcohol).

The economy grew rapidly from 1976 to 1981, fueled by the influx of private foreign loans until the debt crisis of the early 1980s.
One of the junta's economic moves was fixing the exchange rate in the early 1980s, leading to a boom in imports and a collapse of domestic industrial production; this together with a world recession caused a serious economic crisis in 1982, where GDP plummeted 14%, and unemployment reached 33%.

Affordable housing in Baltimore is in a crisis, yet one that has been largely ignored.
Johns Hopkins University Professor Sandra J. Newman, who also directs the Johns Hopkins Institute for Policy Studies, has recently completed an in-depth study of the low-end rental housing market in Baltimore and will be holding a press briefing on Monday, September 12 at 10:30 a.m.
In a 97-page monograph entitled, "Low-end Rental Housing: The Forgotten Story in Baltimore's Housing Boom," Newman meticulously details a portrait of a housing market in deep crisis, with little immediate hope of correction, despite the housing boom, unless new policies are adopted and policymakers change the way they collect and analyze data.
