AARP Rhode Island is raising awareness of the benefits of ADUs, making it easier to permit units and expanding the state's age-friendly, accessible, and affordable housing.
In April 16 testimony before the House Finance Committee, AARPRI Advocacy Director Deanna Casey and volunteer Gerald McAvoy tell lawmakers that many trapped in the cycle of payday loans are Rhode Island senior citizens. They represent, Casey added, "a growing and significant share." Payday lenders target Social Security, disability and veterans benefits.
Please join the AARP Executive Council, the State Legislative Committee and the State Office staff in congratulating State Director Kathleen Connell, honored on March 8 as an Extraordinary Woman in the field of health advocacy and education. The award was presented as part of International Woman's Day celebrations nationwide.
