Livable Communities
AARP Delaware has teamed up with Smart Growth America — a Washington-based nonprofit — on a project that both groups hope will lead to more transportation options and affordable housing in key areas of the state.
AARP's Community Challenge grant program aims to boost livability with quick-action projects.

Five Delaware entities won AARP 2023 Community Challenge grants, aimed at helping make communities more livable for all ages. The grantees include:
