The Maryland Department of Aging's Aging-In-Place Program offers competitive grant funding to support older adults in living safely, independently, and comfortably in their own homes and communities. This program aligns with the Department's commitment to ensuring that Marylanders, regardless of age, income, or ability, can maintain their identity and independence in familiar environments. The core mission is to promote the well-being of older adults by preserving familiarity, providing mental stimulation, reducing emotional stress associated with transitions, and offering the opportunity to live in a supported community, such as a Senior Village. The target beneficiaries of this grant program are older adults in Maryland, with a particular focus on those in historically underserved communities. These include Black, Latino, Indigenous and Native American persons, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, other persons of color, members of religious minorities, LGBTQ+ persons, individuals with disabilities, those in rural areas, and those affected by persistent poverty or inequality. The impact goals are to delay cognitive decline, improve quality of life, maintain emotional well-being, and enhance access to resources and supportive services for these populations. The program prioritizes projects that incorporate volunteers in the planning and delivery of services, serve historically underserved communities, propose multi-sector or multigenerational collaboration, establish new Senior Villages or expand existing ones into marginalized communities, and foster partnerships between Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) and Senior Villages. These strategic priorities aim to enhance capacity, extend reach, improve effectiveness, and achieve better outcomes for older adults across the state. The theory of change suggests that by supporting these initiatives, the Department can create more robust community-based support systems, directly leading to improved independence, health, and social engagement for older Marylanders. Expected outcomes include increased access to in-home personal care, education on maintaining community living, psychological, economic, or functional assistance, greater awareness of and equitable access to resources, improved supportive services and care coordination, reduced social isolation, affordable transportation options, and assistance with home modifications. Measurable results will likely involve tracking the number of individuals served, the types of services provided, the establishment and expansion of Senior Villages, and indicators of improved quality of life and independence among participants. The total funding available for this grant cycle is $100,000, with grants running from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025.

Johnson County is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Permanent Supportive Housing, specifically designed for households with children. The program aims to reduce barriers to housing and promote housing stability through trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and interdisciplinary services. These services must effectively engage families with complex needs, being comprehensive, coordinated, readily accessible, and family-centered. A key focus of this RFP is to demonstrate racial equity in the provision of proposed services, aligning with a mission to address systemic inequalities in housing access and stability. The target beneficiaries for this program are families experiencing repeated and/or chronic homelessness, with incomes at or below 30% of the area median income as defined by HUD at the time of entering housing. This population often faces multiple barriers to housing stability, including poverty, brain health disorders, substance use, and other chronic health conditions. The program's impact goals are to provide housing stability for these families, ultimately leading to other positive outcomes beyond just housing, such as improved health and overall well-being. The program prioritizes a Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) model, which combines affordable housing with voluntary support services. This intervention is a proven successful model in providing housing stability for families experiencing long-term homelessness. The expected outcomes include a reduction in repeated and chronic homelessness for the target population, as well as improved housing stability. Measurable results would likely include tracking the number of families housed, the length of time families remain housed, and improvements in associated social and health indicators. Funding of up to $220,000 will be awarded annually under this RFP, with the possibility of renewal for up to three years. The contract term is from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025. Eligible organizations are nonprofit organizations providing services in and for Johnson County residents. This initiative reflects a strategic priority of Johnson County to support its vulnerable populations through a comprehensive and equity-focused approach to housing, embodying a theory of change that by providing stable housing and robust support services, long-term homelessness can be effectively combated and families can achieve greater overall well-being.
