Ada County, ID
AARP Community Challenge Grant Year: 2021
Project Category: Expansion and enhancement of transportation options
Description: Ada County lacks transportation options for many of its residents. To help local employers provide transportation for their employees, the Ada County Highway Department expanded its Commuteride program, which provides grants to small organizations and businesses -- many of whom are nonprofits or working directly with underserved populations -- to provide facility or mobility enhancements. The program provided shared bikes, bike racks, employee transit passes, bike repair stations, bike helmets, telework resources and breakroom amenities such as lockers and showers.
Boise, ID
AARP Community Challenge Grant Year: 2023
Project Category: Supporting family caregivers
Description: Adapted Builds tackled the challenge of limited resources for caregivers and older adults living with disabilities by creating free instructional videos. One guides viewers through making homes ADA compliant, while the other offers strategies for balancing caregiving responsibilities. These step-by-step tools aim to improve safety and efficiency, reducing stress for families. Professionals interviewed during development praised the effort, noting how difficult it is for caregivers to find reliable, practical solutions.
