$105,500 in grants aims to help residents of all ages, especially older adults, improve how they live, move, and stay connected in their neighborhoods through innovative local projects
After more than 18 months of work, which included story collection, stakeholder meetings, legislative testimony, lobbying, and so much more, Arizona will finally have improved standards in Assisted Living Facilities.
Today, AARP announced three Arizona organizations will receive 2020 Community Challenge grants – part of the largest number of grantees to date with more than $2.4 million awarded among 184 organizations nationwide. Grantees will implement “quick-action” projects to create more livable communities across all 50 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Many Arizonans are using telemedicine for the first time. The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored disparities in the state with access to health care and broadband internet in rural areas.
