\"\"The annual program aims to make communities in Michigan more livable for people of all ages<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n

Lansing, MI \u2013 AARP Michigan invites local eligible non-profit organizations and governments across the country to apply for the 2024 AARP Community Challenge<\/a> grant program, now through March 6 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern<\/strong>. AARP Community Challenge grants fund quick-action projects that help communities become more livable by improving public places, transportation, housing, digital connections, and more. Now in its eighth year, the program is part of AARP\u2019s nationwide Livable Communities<\/a> initiative, which supports the efforts of cities, towns, neighborhoods and rural areas to become great places to live for all residents, especially those age 50 and older.<\/p>\n

\u201cAARP Michigan is committed to working with local residents, advocates, and policymakers to make our communities better places to live for people of all ages,\u201d\u00a0said Paula D. Cunningham, State Director. \u201cThe Community Challenge has proven that quick-action projects can lead to long-term change, especially for Michigan residents 50 and over.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The AARP Community Challenge accepts applications across three different grant opportunities. All projects must be consistent with AARP\u2019s mission to serve the needs of people 50 and older along with other eligibility criteria.<\/p>\n
