The Maricopa Association of Governments in Phoenix recently received a $150,000 grant from the Pfizer Foundation and Grantmakers in Aging to develop business plans and expertise to move forward with its Aging In Place initiatives. The organization will also use the funding in order to create a website for older adults which helps them remain in the Phoenix, Arizona area as they get older. Phoenix is currently one of five cities Partners for Livable Communities chose to participate in their 2012 MetLife City Leaders Institute on Aging In Place program, and this grant is a giant step forward in their progress towards building an age-friendly environment that provides older individuals with the necessary resources so they can remain in their homes and communities as they continue to age.  To learn more about Phoenix’s aging initiatives and the grant they received please click here.
