A program intended to make communities a better place to live is accepting grant applications.

AARP Virginia invites local eligible non-profit organizations and governments to apply for the 2024 AARP Community Challenge grant program, now through March 6.  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’s nationwide Livable Communities 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
