NEWS & INSIGHTS

One promising housing solution is within reach: Accessory Dwelling Units, or ADUs. These smaller, independent homes - often built in backyards, above garages, or in attics or basements - can add more housing to residential neighborhoods without changing their character. ADUs can create rental income for homeowners, offer affordable options for seniors and single adults, and expand access to housing in high-opportunity areas.

State lawmakers are considering a proposal in the state budget that could take healthcare away from 770,000 residents, including over 115,000 adults in Franklin County. Losing Medicaid coverage would mean fewer people can afford prescriptions, mental health support, and routine care. Let’s ensure all of us get the healthcare we need. Take action today to protect healthcare coverage for our neighbors!
