Designing Age-Friendly Homes for Albuquerque | Albuquerque News

Albuquerque is launching a bold new design competition with UNM and AARP to build age-friendly cottages that let seniors stay put—no move to assisted living required. Students get real-world experience while creating homes and neighborhoods tailored for aging in place, with easy access to transit, healthcare, and shopping. Funded by AARP, this initiative tackles Albuquerque’s housing shortage and empowers older adults to live independently with dignity. The contest runs from September 1 to November 13, with winners announced November 20—and top designs could become reality next spring, earning cash prizes plus ULI memberships.
