For years, the city of Baltimore has grappled with two interconnected problems – thousands of vacant properties and a high rate of drug overdoses. In 2023, the city saw more than 1,000 drug and alcohol-related deaths. Fraud within the treatment industry and a lack of affordable housing often hinder people’s efforts to get clean. Realtor Angel Brown was flipping abandoned rowhouses when she had an idea that could address both issues. She and her husband opened a substance abuse and mental health treatment center that also offers housing in some of the properties Angel renovated. Correspondent Jessica Gomez travels to Baltimore to see how the realtor is improving homes and lives.
