The Durable Medical Equipment (DME) Program provides assistance to residents in need of durable medical equipment for in-home use at no charge. We are prioritizing people experiencing homelessness and those with limited income. Types of Durable Medical Equipment include canes, crutches, grab bars, manual wheelchairs, rollators, shower chairs, shower heads, and walkers.
Emergency Preparedness Program
Emergencies and disasters can strike quickly and without warning. Having an emergency preparedness plan, emergency supply kit, and a Support Network can reduce the fear and anxiety that accompany emergencies and disasters.
