RISE Together Innovation Institute has released multiple RFPs to support the next phase of advancing economic security and mobility in Franklin County.

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.
