An emergency can hit at a moment’s notice – whether it’s a natural disaster like flooding, wildfires or high winds, or a personal emergency like a house fire. “When an emergency hits, adrenaline kicks in making it hard to think straight,” said Joseph Roybal Sanchez, AARP New Mexico State Director. “You may only have minutes to get your family, your pets and yourself to safety.”
$69,000 in grants aim to help residents of all ages, especially older adults, improve how they live, move, and stay connected in their neighborhoods through innovative local projects.

EN ESPAÑOL | White Plains, N.Y. — AARP New York was joined today by state and local officials in Westchester County to fight Con Edison’s proposal to raise its electric and gas rates by more than $2 billion.

AARP Connecticut applauds the final decision by the Connecticut Public Utility Regulatory Authority (PURA) to reject United Illuminating Company’s supplemental rate increase request.

According to the Federal Trade Commission, theft through fraud may have been as high as $158.3 billion in 2023 alone. To put this into perspective, if fraud was a US company, it would be in the top 40 by revenue. That’s $434 million every day, or about $300,000 every minute – stolen from Americans by fraud criminals.
