Laurel Advocacy & Referral Services (LARS) is a nonprofit organization that provides emergency assistance and support services to individuals and families facing financial hardship in the greater Laurel, Maryland area. Founded in 1987 by local faith communities, the organization provides residents with access to basic-needs assistance through food, housing, and utility support, as well as case management services.
What They Do
Laurel Advocacy & Referral Services, Inc. (LARS) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit operating under EIN 52-1537336. Today, LARS operates several programs that address immediate needs while supporting long-term stability.
Through its Emergency Services program, Laurel residents receive short-term financial assistance to prevent evictions and utility shutoffs or cover security deposits and first month’s rent. LARS also provides vouchers for eyeglasses, clothing, and furniture, maintains a food pantry available to eligible clients every 30 days, and connects people with shelter information and other community resources.
Its Permanent Supportive Housing program combines subsidized housing with long-term case management for 22 individuals and families experiencing chronic homelessness and disabilities. Referrals are coordinated through Prince George’s County’s entry system.
The Self-Sufficiency Program offers intensive case management and mentoring for up to 10 households at a time. Over three to five years, participants work with a case manager to maintain housing, strengthen financial habits, find employment, and address barriers to long-term stability.
LARS serves portions of Prince George’s, Anne Arundel, Howard, and Montgomery counties. Learn more on its official website.
