Clovis, NM

AARP Community Challenge Grant Year: 2025

Project Category: Innovative home maintenance repair and services

Description: City of Clovis worked to close safety gaps for older adults who lacked working smoke alarms and clear fire safety guidance. The city distributed roughly 400 alarms and provided bilingual information to help residents understand proper use, while volunteers installed alarms for homebound individuals who needed assistance. These efforts strengthened home safety and emergency preparedness and built partnerships that will support continued outreach. The city plans to expand education and engagement so older adults can stay informed and be better prepared over time.
