Grantees will implement quick-action projects that help communities become more livable in the long-term by improving public places; transportation; housing; diversity, equity and inclusion; digital access; and civic engagement, with an emphasis on the needs of adults age 50 and over.
The official Atlantic hurricane season runs from June first to November 30th each year, with August through October being the peak months. While hurricanes bring rain and wind, there is also the potential for power outages, tornadoes, and flooding.
