As we step into a new month, it’s the perfect time to stay informed about the pressing issues and opportunities that could impact your life and community. This month brings a wealth of important updates, particularly for older Floridians, as the 2025 Florida Legislative Session kicks off. AARP Florida released its 2025 legislative priorities, emphasizing the importance of accessible housing options for all ages, the need to enhance long-term services and supports, and increase consumer protections as top priorities for the AARP advocacy team and volunteers. Understanding these key issues is crucial for staying engaged and advocating for policies that make a positive difference.
