Established under the Maryland Health Equity Resource Act (2021) and implemented by the Maryland Community Health Resources Commission (CHRC), the program awards 5-year grants to organizations delivering clinical interventions and social determinants of health (SDOH) support for marginalized populations across Maryland. Twelve grantees are currently implementing programs over the period July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2029, with a total funding pool of $41,550,000 across 12 awards. Focus health areas include cardiovascular disease, diabetes, mental health, social isolation, maternal and child health, substance use disorder, obesity, childhood vaccination, sickle cell disease, and elder care. The current 12 grantees serve 255 ZIP codes across 14 Maryland jurisdictions. Programs are currently open for enrollment.
