Among the grants funded through the 2025 AARP Community Challenge are capacity-building microgrants that support simple home modifications and safety solutions to create and maintain “lifelong homes,” especially for people age 50-plus. The grantees are using the AARP HomeFit Guide and its related resources — all available through the links listed below.
