WOODSWISE subsidizes the rent of eligible residents of Sunrise of Severna Park in order to allow them to remain at Sunrise once they are less financially able to do so. The funds come from ground rent paid by Sunrise for the use of the land on which the facility is built. This program is confidential and no one at Woods other than the Treasurer of Woodswise knows who the subsidy recipients are. Information and applications may be obtained from Kim Manaco at Sunrise 410-544-7200.
