Aging-in-Place Grant Applications Being Accepted
The Maryland Department of Aging (MDOA) is pleased to announce a competitive funding opportunity for grant awards under the Aging-In-Place Program, in accordance with the State of Maryland Human Services Article §10-1201.
Aging-in-place projects offer supportive services that assist older adults in maintaining their health, financial security, social connections, and sense of purpose within their homes and communities in alignment with the MDOA’s Longevity Ready Maryland (LRM) multisector plan for aging.
MDOA welcomes applications from nonprofit organizations and Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) committed to expanding or establishing innovative aging-in-place programs that align with one or more of the following LRM strategies:
Increase awareness and adoption of the neighbor-helping-neighbor Village model;
Recruit older volunteers and multigenerational volunteer teams into coordinated service opportunities;
Increase the number of volunteers of all ages providing support to older Marylanders;
Expand aging-in-place options by providing wraparound services that include health care, transportation, and social services in coordination with Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs), Centers for Independent Living, Villages, and other community-based aging service providers;
Increase access to home repair and modification programs that ensure safe and accessible home environments;
Leverage technology and community-based services to enhance transportation options and operability for older adults, especially in rural communities;
Promote innovative opportunities to connect Marylanders across all ages through technology, programming, and community spaces; and
Promote the adoption of initiatives that increase intergenerational connection to reduce age-related bias.
