Albuquerque, NM

AARP Community Challenge Grant Year: 2025

Project Category: Innovative home maintenance repair and services

Description: Many older adults in Albuquerque were living with unsafe home conditions that made it difficult to remain independent. The Home Preservation program completed 32 projects after increased outreach. They provided repairs such as ramps, railings, deck fixes and safer entryways. Volunteers supported work across multiple homes, including one where new ramps and deck repairs allowed a resident to reach an art studio they thought they had lost access to. Demand for repairs continues to grow, prompting plans to hire another site manager and expand service capacity. The improvements help older adults stay safely in their homes and strengthen community connections through word-of-mouth referrals.
