About Maryland Oaks Crossing

​

Maryland Oaks Crossing (MOC) offers low barrier housing to individuals and families with dependent children. This program is offered without regard to race, color, religion, creed, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, ancestry, marital status, or disability. MOC does not require any religious affiliation, nor does it have any requirement for church attendance or any other religious or spiritual practice.

Maryland Oaks Crossing is available to families with dependent children who are searching for secure, stable, and affordable housing with supportive services. GNO strives to make available the following services to MOC clients on a voluntary basis either directly or through partnerships with other non-profit agencies: food pantry distribution, health screenings, tutoring service, financial literacy, case management, counseling towards permanent housing after MOC, trauma counseling, individual and family counseling, life-skills classes, and other wraparound services. Case management offered through one of our collaborative partnerships will work with residents to develop and implement this plan. The overarching goal for each participant is the transition to stable traditional housing. The program requirements are designed to offer the best possible support for program participants at Maryland Oaks Crossing and require a formal agreement.
