The Department of Human Resources' Displaced Homemaker Program has
undergone a phase of regionalization of services, which has resulted in
a decrease in program sites. The Department is committed to ensuring that
all past and future participants have access to necessary services. Therefore,
we have begun massive outreach efforts to local community-based organizations,
commissions, and community action agencies. If services are needed in an area not
listed above click here to link
to the Maryland Commission for Women webpage to see additional available services
offered through the Commission. |
