Chapter Expansion and Resident Engagement SSAFE expanded its national network of senior living communities by adding four new chapters in 2025, bringing the total to 18 participating communities. Outreach, onboarding, and relationship-building efforts increased engagement among residents committed to advancing environmental sustainability within their communities. SSAFE leadership worked closely with prospective and existing chapters to support local initiatives, share best practices, and strengthen a connected network of climate-focused residents. 0 15985 Educational Programming and Speaker Series SSAFE delivered a robust schedule of educational programming designed to inform and inspire climate action in senior living communities. Monthly general meetings featured nationally recognized experts on topics such as climate science, decarbonization, biodiversity, and behavior change.

Recordings of presentations were made publicly available to extend the reach of each program. 0 48703 Cross-Chapter Collaboration and Peer Learning SSAFE expanded collaboration among member communities through its Greening Our Campuses program, workgroups, and peer learning initiatives. In 2025, SSAFE developed and shared 10 new case studies highlighting successful sustainability projects.
