Maryland Access Point (MAP) is a new initiative that links
older persons and adults with disabilities from all income

- Creating a single point-of-entry to access resources for
lifelong independence

state, and federal programs
- Offering a “No Wrong Door” connection to
appropriate agencies providing benefits or services
Washington County MAP serves:
