New Americans Task Force

The New Americans Task Force was established in the summer of 2013 by Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake to develop a plan to retain and attract immigrants to the City of Baltimore.

To determine the direction and high priority areas for the Task Force, the Office of the Mayor worked in collaboration with high-level representatives from 10 City agencies and with stakeholders from nonprofits, private partners, foundations, financial institutions, and many others.  

At the conclusion of twelve weeks, the New Americans Task Force presented a series of 32 recommendations to Mayor Rawlings-Blake to further strengthen her administration’s efforts to make Baltimore City a place of welcome, economic opportunity, and inclusion.

The full report, The Role of Immigrants in Growing Baltimore: Recommendations to Retain and Attract New Americans, was released on September 17, 2014.
