AARP Florida is making a difference where you live.
This year, AARP Florida is proud to celebrate 10 organizations across the state who will receive 2025 Community Challenge grants. The funds will support efforts to improve public places, transportation, housing, digital connections, and other key areas. The grants are part of AARP’s $4.2 million commitment to fund 383 quick-action projects aimed at making communities more livable for people of all ages, with a focus on the needs of older adults.
As the 2025 hurricane season ramps up in Florida, older adults and family caregivers face a critical responsibility: ensuring safety for themselves and their loved ones.

Florida Power & Light (FPL) is proposing an increase that will impact many Floridians, especially seniors on fixed incomes. This proposal raises the minimum base bill for residential customers from $25 to $30—forcing them to pay more regardless of their actual energy usage.
