Aging in Community

PATH has helped hundreds of seniors in Maryland receive the home care they prefer and out of institutionalized nursing home settings. PATH was key to securing an additional $13 million in the 2013 Maryland State Budget to expand the Medicaid Waiver for Older Adults. Now, at least 300 additional seniors a year will receive the care they need at home rather being forced into in nursing homes. The new revenue will decrease the enormous backlog of people waiting for service, expand services, and increase home care workers’ pay. Home- and community-based care provides better health outcomes, saves the state money in the long-term, and is what most seniors prefer. Thanks to our efforts, everyone wins.

Take Action: Sign the Petition to Keep the Stormwater Fee and Join PATH on Tuesday, Jan 19, 6:45pm at the Council Hearing

County Executive Kittleman and County Councilman Fox have proposed to eliminate the Stormwater Fee, which generates roughly $10 million annually to keep pollutants out of the Chesapeake Bay, and instead to take that funding from the General Fund. The current fee helps provide funding for programs like the READY Program (created by PATH, the Alliance for the Chesapeake, and the county), which employ local youth to do stormwater remediation and develop job skills. If the funding were forced to come from the general fund, it could take away from funding for other important PATH initiatives, such as increasing transportation for seniors, increasing affordable housing in Howard County, and improving educational opportunities for young people. Long term, it could also harm the READY program if Howard County experiences a fiscal downturn and the general fund decreases.
