OCT 24, 2025
While the recent announcement of a 2.8% cost-of-living (COLA) adjustment for Social Security is great news for all Wisconsinites on the program, we know that more can be done to help our state’s residents age with dignity, purpose, and financial security during these difficult economic times.

At AARP Wisconsin, we believe that everyone should have the power to choose how they live as they age. That belief drives our work, and it’s also why we’re inviting you to join us as a volunteer. Whether you have five minutes or five hours a month, there’s a place for you in our growing network of changemakers across the state.
We know how impactful $1,000 can be. This is our way of extending some seed money to get these projects off the ground. Next deadline: September 27, 2025.

The Madison Housing Coalition is proud to announce the return of Madison Housing Week, a week-long series of events and discussions focused on housing issues, innovation, and accessibility in our community. Now through Saturday, October 25, residents are invited to participate in daily in-person sessions across the city and virtual lunchtime events designed to spark dialogue and inspire action.
Now, more than ever, we need innovative housing solutions to meet the needs for today’s families – and tomorrow's. The high cost and lack of available new living space presents today’s families with unique housing challenges. There’s a solution we’re all familiar with and homeowners have called them carriage houses or mother-in-law suites for decades. But, today they have a new name: Accessory Dwelling Units, or ADUs.
These organizations can provide you with information and help protect you from scams!
