We're currently seeking a Technician to join CHAI's Senior Home Repair & Benefits team.

This role is about far more than home repairs. Every day, our technicians help older adults remain safe, independent, and connected to the communities they call home.

From installing grab bars and wheelchair ramps to completing accessibility modifications and critical home repairs, their work directly improves quality of life for older adults living on fixed incomes.

At CHAI, we believe aging in place should be possible for everyone. Through Senior Home Repair & Benefits, our team helps reduce financial burdens, improve accessibility, and preserve the housing stock that keeps neighborhoods strong.

If you're looking for an opportunity to use your skills to make a meaningful impact, we'd love to hear from you.

Nearly 600 students at Bedford Elementary in Pikesville now have a beautiful new place to read, learn, and imagine.

When CHAI brought together school leadership and generous donors Phyllis & Louis Friedman earlier this year, a simple question: “Does Bedford have a Carson Reading Room?” sparked something big. With support from the Friedmans and the Carson Scholars Fund, that vision is now a reality.

Last week's opening featured student performances, remarks from Mrs. Candy Carson, a ribbon cutting, and a special read-aloud.

We’re proud to help connect partners and create opportunities that strengthen our community. Thank you to everyone who made this possible!

The Edward A. Myerberg Center recently welcomed Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott, City Council President Zeke Cohen, and Councilman Isaac "Yitzy" Schleifer in recognition of Jewish American Heritage Month.

During their visit, they spent time with members, learning more about the experiences, perspectives, and connections that make our community so special. The conversations were thoughtful, engaging, and filled with plenty of laughter.

Thank you to Mayor Scott, President Cohen, and Councilman Schleifer for taking the time to visit and engage with our members. Opportunities like these help strengthen the relationships that make Baltimore such a vibrant place to age, learn, and thrive.

More than 200 community members came together this spring to celebrate creativity, connection, and lifelong learning at the Edward A. Myerberg Center's Spring Art Show.

The event featured more than 100 original works created by Myerberg instructors and students, showcasing a wide range of artistic talent through ceramics, watercolors, oils, pastels, acrylics, and photography.

Events like this don't happen without tremendous effort behind the scenes. Thank you to everyone who attended, supported the artists, and helped make the show such a success.

A special thank you to the Myerberg team, whose dedication and hard work brought another incredible community event to life.

As one of the Myerberg Center's recurring events that is free and open to the community, the Spring Art Show continues to create opportunities for people to come together, celebrate creativity, and connect with one another.

We’re already looking forward to the Fall Art Show!

NNC welcomed Abigail Degler and Dylan Robichaud from WMAR to speak with members during its monthly Village Gathering hosted at the Myerberg Center.

The gathering highlighted the connection between CHAI’s programs, with the Myerberg Center serving as a welcoming space where NNC members can come together for conversations, programming, and community-building opportunities throughout the year.

Following their visit, Dylan shared on-air how much they enjoyed the experience, calling it “one of the more fun talks” he’s given because of how engaging the group was. The conversation covered everything from lightning and local forecasting to how meteorologists use artificial intelligence in weather prediction.

Moments like these reflect what makes both NNC and the Myerberg Center so special: creating opportunities for older adults to stay socially engaged, connected, and part of a welcoming community.

During Maryland’s 2026 legislative session, CHAI helped advance several housing and community development priorities aimed at supporting long-term neighborhood stability and quality of life.

This included legislation expanding access to housing counseling services for first-time homebuyers, helping reinforce the importance of early support in preventing housing instability. Lawmakers also passed legislation to study the growing challenges facing aging condominium buildings, an important step toward preserving affordability and safety for older adults living on fixed incomes.

We also joined local partners in supporting community-centered provisions within the Pimlico legislation to help ensure surrounding neighborhoods remain part of future planning and investment.

The session brought important funding support for local priorities, including capital dollars for Fallstaff Apartments and programmatic support through the Maryland Department of Aging, helping position key projects and initiatives for continued progress in the year ahead.

Behind every ride, warm welcome, and daily connection is someone choosing to show up for their community.

In March alone, three dedicated CHAIway Volunteer drivers supported 23 ride requests for older adults traveling to medical appointments, errands, and essential day-to-day activities that help maintain independence and connection.

That same spirit continues across CHAI, including at the Myerberg Center, where nearly 50 volunteers help create a welcoming space where older adults feel supported, engaged, and known. That commitment was recently celebrated during a volunteer appreciation lunch honoring the people who give their time to strengthen the community every day.

Across every program, volunteers help build the relationships and social connections that allow older adults to remain rooted in the communities they love.

A cloudy morning quickly turned into a beautiful day for NNC’s visit to Ladew Topiary Gardens.

Twelve members rode together on CHAI’s shuttle to spend the day exploring the gardens and touring the Manor House. Along the way, something even more meaningful stood out: community.

One participant had joined NNC just the day before and shared how welcomed and included the group made her feel right away.

That’s what NNC is all about.
