Yes! We never want finances to prevent individuals from joining the Village. We offer an income-eligible subsidized membership program with rates as low as $8 a month. This subsidy program maintains the confidentiality of participants and grants full access to all Village events and services.

Membership is available to all adults 55 years and older living within the Georgetown Village service area, which includes Georgetown, Hillandale, Burleith, and nearby areas. Out-of-bounds memberships are available for those who live outside of our catchment area.
