Livable Communities

AARP Vermont partnered with Smart Growth America (SGA), through AARP’s Livable Communities Technical Assistance Program (LC-TAP), to study the proposed Community Housing Infrastructure Program (CHIP) and its potential impact on housing development. The LC-TAP program provides the capacity to help AARP State Offices guide policies and projects to support communities to be vibrant and accessible for people of all ages. Addressing housing needs is a vital goal for the Livable Communities Program, including supporting the delivery of homes appropriate for multi-generational living, aging in place, and meeting accessibility needs.
