Western Maryland Regional HR 1 Convening
About this Event
Federal work requirements tied to SNAP have been expanded under HR 1. Maryland's workforce boards, Departments of Social Services, E&T providers, and human service partners need to be a coordinated system, not parallel programs. These convenings are working sessions designed to produce practical strategies, shared commitments, and actionable next steps.
