Myerberg Center, The Associated: Jewish Federation of Baltimore and the IMAGE Center of Maryland. The clinic will be held tomorrow, Friday, May 7 at the Edward A. Myerberg Center. Pre-registration for this event is now closed. If you need assistance making an appointment for a vaccine in Baltimore City, please call the COVID Call Center at 443-984-8650.

Pimlico Community Advisory Work Begins
Last week, CHAI was happy to participate in the first official meeting of the Pimlico Redevelopment Advisory Board, convened pursuant to the Pimlico Redevelopment Community Compact, which CHAI helped create last year. The advisory board will ensure that the voices of neighborhood groups will be heard throughout the process of redeveloping the Pimlico property and will spotlight key areas of focus to enhance the quality of life in the surrounding neighborhoods. The group was joined by Delegate Samuel I. Rosenberg, representatives of Baltimore City, the Baltimore Development Corporation, the Maryland Stadium Authority and the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development. Mayor Brandon Scott plans to join the next advisory board meeting this evening.

Helping Seniors Stay Safe
at Home
For older adults living in aging homes, staying safe at home includes the need to address repairs and modifications on a limited income. CHAI’s Senior Home Repair and Benefits program allocates dollars annually to each client to address these issues. But when larger needs arise, this grant may not be enough. Fortunately, CHAI has other programs that can help. Recently, one client expressed the need to replace her home’s HVAC system in anticipation of the warmer months ahead. CHAI staff were able to help her obtain a CHAI Energy Savings Loan to replace the equipment, so she will be comfortable and safe year-round, with lower monthly bills.
