We are excited to announce an expansion of the CreatINg Places program. CreatINg Livable Communities is a partnership between AARP Indiana and the Indiana Housing & Community Development Authority (IHCDA). In an effort to further the missions of both AARP’s Livable Communities program and IHCDA’s CreatINg Places crowdgranting program, CreatINg Livable Communities is a pilot partnership that assists Indiana communities in funding place-based projects for aging in place.
