Seattle, WA
AARP Community Challenge Grant Year: 2025
Project Category: Homeowner legal and financial documentation
Description: Rising property taxes created growing strain for older adult homeowners who were eligible for relief but often unaware of the program or unsure how to apply. Local Initiatives built a coordinated outreach and assistance system ahead of tax season, embedding screening and application support into existing tax help sites and community centers. Multilingual materials and trained volunteers helped older adults understand eligibility and prepare paperwork. One homeowner expressed relief after learning she was likely eligible and had clear next steps. The project established a screening and referral structure that helps older adults remain in their homes.
