RHIC’s mission is to UNITE, EMPOWER, and MOBILIZE residents of Reservoir Hill and its neighbors City.

Goal
To revitalize the physical and human infrastructure of Reservoir Hill without resulting in full-scale gentrification and significant displacement, including rehabilitation of deteriorating buildings; alleviating poverty and its attendant problems, including, sanitation, public safety, education, low homeownership, and unemployment; and making the organized, informed voice of residents influential and effective. Strategy
As an umbrella organization, the foundation of RHIC’s approach is to aggregate the power of local associations and institutions through a community-wide infrastructure for educating residents, training leaders, promoting mutual support among community associations, developing common perspectives and strategy, and implementing collective projects and campaigns. The underlying principles of this strategic approach are that organized people and economic development lead to community empowerment; empowerment achieved as a result of networking, combining talents and resources, and wielding the power of an educated, united citizenry in a program grounded in economic and social equity. We envision Reservoir Hill as a model of a vibrant urban community with excellent schools, safe streets, abundant green space and outdoor recreation areas, multiple opportunities for residents to interact, housing that meets the needs of growing families and a broad range of incomes, and a revitalization that benefits everyone.

The Reservoir Hill Improvement Council is teaming up with to invite all neighbors to help put the finishing touches on our new traffic calming art mural at Linden Ave & Whitelock St. as part of the 16th Annual Reservoir Hill Harvest Festival!

📅 Saturday, October 31
⏰ Starting at 11 AM

This mural is about more than color. It helps slow down traffic and makes our streets safer for everyone who walks, bikes, and plays in Reservoir Hill. 🚸 No experience needed! Just bring your enthusiasm (and clothes you don't mind getting a little paint on).

After you've added your brushstroke, stick around for art activities, a costume contest, live music, and more. 🍂🎃 We hope to see you there!

A mural and planters are coming to the Big Jump! Want to be a part of the process? Here's how to get involved:

Share your ideas and inspiration to help shape the artwork. Public artists at Graham Projects will use this feedback to develop mural design concepts that celebrate the Big Jump and the surrounding communities. Survey closes August 11 at 12pm.

Vote for your favorite mural design. Community members will be invited to vote for their favorite design before a final concept is selected. Mural concepts will be presented at ResFest on August 23 and shared online at StreetsOfBaltimore.com/BigJump. The voting will open August 23 and close September 13.

Paint with us at the Community Paint Day. Community members will be invited to install part of the mural during a community paint day. We anticipate this event will happen in October. Stay tuned for more details!
