The Maryland Department of Aging and the Maryland Department of Disabilities are announcing a joint initiative to provide Marylanders who have mobility, medical, and accessibility needs with free equipment to help them remain independent in their community.
 
The new collaborative initiative, Maryland Equips, aims to provide free medical equipment and assistive technology to Marylanders with any disability, illness, or injury who need additional support to remain comfortable and connected. Products available from Maryland’s Durable Medical Equipment Re-use program and High-Tech AT Reuse Center include wheelchairs?, power scooters, speech communication devices, bathroom chairs and railing, adapted computer equipment and telephones, home hospital beds, mechanical lifts, magnifiers, and eye-gaze systems, among other adaptive products and services. Maryland Equips will launch on June 22, 2024.
 
Maryland Equips will complement disability programs in Maryland by providing adaptive technology and equipment at no cost to those who need it, impacting thousands of lives by fostering inclusive, community-based options.”

Senior Rental Assistance Now Accepting Applications

 


The new Senior Rental Assistance Pilot Program (SRAP) is now accepting applications. Developed under County senior living assistance legislation and funded through a one-time investment by the State of Maryland, this program will provide eligible seniors with financial assistance to address a rental hardship.

“It is our goal to make sure every resident of Prince George’s County has safe, stable housing that allows them to thrive, which is why we are so excited to launch this all-new program to help our seniors,” said Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks.

SRAP is designed to benefit seniors ages 65 and above who have been Prince George’s County residents for at least five years and are renters with a lease or sublease in their name. To qualify, applicants must demonstrate a tenant household income that is at or below 40% of the Area Median Income (AMI) for the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA).

Administered by the Department of Social Services, in collaboration with the Department of Family Services and the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development, SRAP offers assistance with covering one month's rental arrearage. Eligible seniors may apply twice within a 12-month period, with a maximum assistance limit of $2,500.
