• $1M Emergency Funding Plan Introduced to Support Seniors and Vulnerable Residents (mocoshow.com) — Montgomery County leaders are pushing a $1 million emergency funding package that would help stabilize senior nutrition, minority health, and home care programs relied on by residents in communities like Montgomery Village. The proposal responds to federal and state cuts that have created waitlists and service gaps across the county.
