Updated Jun 28, 2026 · via El Nuevo Día

Community projects in various Puerto Rico towns have received funding to improve the quality of life for seniors. In Salinas, a neighborhood will install ramps to facilitate mobility with dignity.

In Caguas, 100 homes of seniors will receive support bars to prevent falls. In Arecibo, a community will apply lessons learned from Hurricane Maria in 2017 to ensure they do not lose their medications in future emergencies.

These projects aim to enhance security, connection, and resilience for seniors. The initiatives focus on improving daily life and providing support to vulnerable populations.
