Addressing the state’s housing affordability crisis will be among AARP Arizona’s top advocacy priorities in 2025. It is urging lawmakers to renew and expand the state’s Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program, which allocates up to $4 million annually for the construction of affordable rental units.
The grants are “quick action,” designed to help local governments, nonprofits and other groups respond to immediate needs in quality-of-life areas. Winning projects include a garden, bus shelters, a park and community center.
The AARP Volunteers in Prescott & Prescott Valley, AZ went shopping for healthy snacks and beverages for donation to the Yavapai Regional Medical Center’s medical and support staff that are working so hard to provide care to those in need of that care. This is one way we can show our gratitude to the YRMC workers who are instrumental in helping the area's residents during these most difficult times.
Arizona residents who are APS customers have options to help pay their energy bills. Assistance programs are available for qualifying customers, including discounts, one-time assistance during a crisis, and even programs for residents who rely on electricity to keep necessary medical equipment working.
