The Pro Bono Resource Center was a signatory to a letter sent to Baltimore City Mayor Brandon Scott urging him to take action this tax sale season and prevent city residents from losing their long-time home.

"'In a letter sent to Scott in February, representatives from the work group — which includes Fight Blight Bmore founder Nneka N’namdi and attorneys from the Maryland Volunteer Lawyers Service, Pro Bono Resource Center of Maryland and Community Law Center — asked the Scott administration to implement a payment plan option for homeowners in arrears. Their clients frequently have difficulty paying off large lump sums at once, they wrote, and often need additional time and assistance to do so. They noted that 7,600 homeowners could lose their homes due to tax sale this year.”
