News flash: Eden Prairie Housing alliance receives AARP Grant!
We’re excited to share that we are one of 750 grantees selected to receive a 2026 AARP Community Challenge grant from @AARPLivableCommunities and AARP Minnesota.
We’re incredibly proud to receive this investment to help make our communities more livable for people of all ages. This grant will support our work to offer a Senior Shared Housing program, which pairs homeowners, aged 55 or older, with home seekers, aged 18 or older, seeking an affordable place to live. This is done through a trusted, in-depth matching and onboarding process.
