More than 1 million Wisconsinites provide care to a family member or friend with complex medical conditions or disabilities. That’s nearly one quarter (23 percent) of adults across the state. Nearly 60 percent of family caregivers in Wisconsin provide care to someone who has a long-term physical condition.
During the 2025 legislative session, AARP Wisconsin will push lawmakers to pass a state tax credit of up to $500 to help offset expenses—such as adult day care, assistive technology or home modifications—that family caregivers incur.

Madison, Wisconsin, like many cities across the United States, is grappling with a housing crisis that affects residents across the socioeconomic spectrum. One promising solution lies in the development of “missing middle housing,” a term popularized by architect Daniel Parolek to describe a range of multi-unit or clustered housing types that are compatible in scale with single-family homes.
AARP is working across the nation to make their communities more livable for people of all ages. Among the keys to creating more livable communities is housing that is both adaptable and suitable for the changing needs and demographics of American households.
