Nearly everyone will or has needed a temporary helping hand. One Month’s Rent typically pays one month’s rent or a security deposit for Howard County, Maryland residents who are threatened with losing their housing due to a personal, economic, or medical crisis. Through CAC, OMR helps families who will become financially stable with temporary help. We simply ask that recipients help someone else with housing sometime during their lifetime.
OMR works through the Community Action Council (CAC), to ensure that families who don’t qualify for other housing assistance get help in emergency situations.
