Summary
The Indoor Plumbing Program in Maryland provides financial assistance for eligible households to install or upgrade indoor plumbing systems. The program is designed to help low-income homeowners, renters, and landlords address health and safety issues associated with the lack of indoor plumbing. Assistance is provided in the form of a grant, which does not need to be repaid. The program covers the costs of plumbing installations or upgrades, as well as related costs such as permits and inspections. Eligible properties must be located in rural areas of Maryland that lack adequate indoor plumbing, and applicants must meet certain income and other eligibility criteria.
Eligibility Requirements
- The applicant(s) must be a Maryland resident and U.S. citizen or a documented immigrant.
- The applicant(s) must lack access to working indoor plumbing.
- The applicant(s) must own the home in which the plumbing will be installed, or have permission from the owner to have the work done.
- The applicant(s) must have a household income that is at or below 80% of the area median income.
- The applicant(s) must agree to participate in a financial counseling session.
- Note that priority is given to households with the greatest need, such as those with children or individuals with disabilities. Additionally, the program has a limited budget, so not all eligible applicants may receive assistance.
