Helping connect Minnesotans to resources that help them save money and live their best life
Newly released AARP caregiving data, Caregiving in the U.S. 2025: Caring Across States, finds that one in five adults (21%) in Minnesota are family caregivers, providing largely unpaid and unsupported care to older parents, spouses, and other loved ones.
Minnesotans who have been defrauded now have a better chance of financial recovery, thanks to a new bipartisan law championed by AARP Minnesota. The Consumer Fraud Restitution Fund, the first of its kind in the nation, was signed into law in 2025 with strong bipartisan support. This innovative fund will help victims of fraud recover lost money—especially in cases where scammers are untraceable or bankrupt.
Six communities throughout Minnesota will receive 2025 Community Challenge grants to fund quick-action projects aimed at making communities more livable for people of all ages, with a focus on the needs of older adults.

A new AARP Hawai`i/Smart Growth America report estimates that 1,442 affordable rental and home ownership covenants will expire by 2030, and more than 10,000 units could be in danger of losing their affordable status between 2030 and 2045 unless funding and/or incentives can be found to keep the units affordable.
The Andrus Award is AARP Hawai`i's Highest Honor for Community Service
Social Security is your money; you earned it through a lifetime of hard work. Nearly one in five Hawai‘i residents, 282,623 people, receive Social Security benefits, and 30% of residents 65 and older rely on the program for at least half of their income.
I can give you 90 million reasons to plant a tree and not one reason not to unless you are not interested in caring for that tree during your lifetime. Trees grow slowly, heal slowly, and die slowly.
