The project was made possible through a $435,000 grant from the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development SEED fund, according to the news release.

A portion of the space also is being used for a job training facility, designated as the Pathways to Healthcare program that provides training and job placement made possible by Horizon Goodwill, Meritus and Maryland Physicians Care.

“As we look to our ‘Bold Goals’ of significantly reducing health disparities in our community by 2030, we had to address the challenges faced by many downtown residents with access to healthcare,” Miranda Ramsey, vice president of physician services, said in the release. “We’re thankful for our partnership with Horizon Goodwill to be able to make this plan a reality."
