Calvert County has been awarded $98,500 from the Governor’s Office for Children’s Engaging Neighborhoods, Organizations, Unions, Governments and Households (ENOUGH) Local Management Board (LMB) Capacity Building Grant. The funding aims to leverage the local infrastructure of the LMB to support local communities in pursuit of their goals.
In May 2024, Gov. Wes Moore signed the ENOUGH Act into law as a first-of-is kind, state-led response to alleviate childhood poverty. The ENOUGH initiative provides resources to communities through partnerships with community organizations, non-profit organizations, and anchor institutions to improve the quality of life for Marylanders experiencing multi-generational poverty.
Calvert County’s allocation will be used to develop a Neighborhood Action Plan focused on four key areas:
- Cradle to Career Education – Smooth educational transitions, from early care to career readiness.
- Healthy Families – Improved healthcare access, reduced infant mortality and strengthened behavioral health services.
- Economically Secure Families – Promoting stable employment and family-sustaining wages.
- Safe and Thriving Communities – Creating safer environments with better housing, nutrition, and transportation options.
The Calvert County Family Network (CCFN) serves as the Local Management Board for Calvert County, working with public and private partners to ensure children and families thrive.
