"Our primary focus is to concentrate on making the city of Baltimore a preferred living destination," said Anna Custer, executive director of the Live Baltimore Home Center. "From the beginning, it's been about the residents of our city wanting to see a better Baltimore, wanting more people in on it and trying to encourage ways for the city to grow."
