AARP Georgia will be advocating for a state-facilitated retirement savings program for private-sector workers who don’t have access to one through their employer during the 2025-26 legislative session.
Eight Georgia entities awarded grants this year through AARP’s Community Challenge program, which funds quick-action projects to help make communities more livable. Nationally, AARP awarded $3.8 million in grants for 343 projects aimed at improving public spaces, housing and transportation, among other goals.
For the first time since AARP began publishing the Scorecard in 2011, more than half of Medicaid long-term care dollars nationwide for older adults and people with physical disabilities went to home- and community-based services instead of nursing homes and other institution.
