AARP surveys consistently find that the vast majority of older adults want to reside in their current home or community for as long as possible. Doing so is possible if a community has housing options that are suitable for differing incomes, physical abilities, ages, & life stages. Tell us how you feel about the housing options in your community and learn more about Governor Healey's "Affordable Homes Act" housing bill and why AARP is urging 'bold action' on it.
AARP Massachusetts submitted testimony endorsing Governor Healey's housing bill. The legislation is the largest housing bond bill ever considered by the Massachusetts legislature. In addition to the 4.1-billion-dollar investment in housing, the bill also includes 28 proposed policy changes including easier paths to ADU's and the establishment of a Commission on Senior Housing & Age-Friendly Communities.
AARP applauds the reintroduction of the Credit for Caring Act, bipartisan legislation that would provide up to a $5,000 nonrefundable federal tax credit for working family caregivers who routinely cut back on their own health care or dip into their savings each year. Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren is one of the original co-sponsors of the bill.
