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.
Check out the 2025 Legislative Voting Record. This annual publication includes detailed information on key legislation affecting older adults, votes taken during committee meetings, and final actions by the full House and Senate.
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.
In the short span of just three weeks, AARP Florida volunteers' combined efforts helped defeat a plan in the U.S. Congress that would have weakened Medicare and cost older Americans thousands more every year, AARP's Florida state director, Jeff Johnson, said.
St. Petersburg, Fla. – AARP Florida Advocacy Manager Jack McRay said AARP is disappointed in a 9-6 House committee vote Tuesday to allow Florida investor-owned utilities to shift the cost of out-of-state natural-gas exploration and development projects to ratepayers, while simultaneously collecting a return for itself on ratepayer-funded costs.
Under the current U.S. House plan to replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA), about 454,000 Floridians age 50-64 enrolled and receiving tax credits in the ACA Marketplace would see higher health-coverage premiums than they pay under current law, more than in any other state, an AARP analysis shows.
Tallahassee, Fla. – AARP Florida will oppose legislative proposals that would allow Florida electric utility companies, including Florida Power & Light, to use residential customers’ money to finance exploration and drilling ventures seeking natural gas in other states.

This small, scenic Atlantic Coast town, often looked over for another tinsel-towny city on the, offers something better than movie stars.

The city of Satellite Beach has shown its dedication to age-friendly living by encouraging more walkable streets, easy-access beach paths and universal design homes as a few of its top priorities. The east coast beach town has a population of 10,418, of which 28 percent are age 60 or older.
