Livable Communities

$55,000 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
AARP Connecticut’s legislative priority is to work with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle on policies and regulations that will keep more money in the pockets of residents and their families; address rising costs of utilities so all people have fair and affordable access to the necessary services; support family caregivers; strengthen protections around predatory lending practices; ensure prescription drug prices are reasonable, justified, and support improved consumer access and affordability; and help older adults live safely and independently in their communities and more.
