Family Navigator
Our Family Navigator provides support for AUSOM families most in need and helps to “navigate” them to appropriate services – food, shelter, utilities, medical assistance, insurance, disability services, and more– as part of our annual Community Service Partnership (CSP) Grant through the Howard County Department of Community Resources and Services. If you or your family are in need of services, please contact the AUSOM office at 410-290-3466 or email [email protected].
