Are you looking to improve your community’s pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure?
We have an opportunity for funding that you may be interested in! AARP announced a call for projects for the Community Challenge grant program. This program is part of the nationwide AARP Livable Communities initiative that helps communities become great places to live for residents of all ages.
The program is intended to help communities make immediate improvements and jump-start long-term progress in support of residents of all ages. Applications are accepted for projects to improve public spaces, housing, transportation, civic engagement, coronavirus recovery, diversity and inclusion, and more.
The application period is open until April 14, 2021. The Texas A&M Agrilife Extension Working on Wellness Environments team is able to provide pre-application assistance to community leaders if needed, in the following ways:
- Walking through program criteria and guidelines
- Identifying possible projects in the community
- Assisting with basic planning steps and providing a broad cost estimate
*If chosen to move on to step 2 of the application process, we can help you identify relevant resources and contacts fo technical assistance.
