Among the nation’s communities and local leaders on the frontlines of the global coronavirus pandemic are the more than 450 towns, cities, counties and states enrolled in the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities.

Several of the network’s member communities have told us how they’re responding to the unprecedented challenges brought on by the pandemic, and how they’re working to meet the needs of older adults. By sharing their stories, community leaders, first responders, volunteers and residents of all ages can learn from — and be inspired by — the strategies, struggles and solutions.

This page contains links to examples from some of the communities in the AARP age-friendly network.
