Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) could be housing for adult children, aging parents, even giving renters a place to live right on your property while giving them their own space.

AARP and the Central Minnesota Council on Aging held a webinar about ADUs and how they can help with the need for housing.

Samar Jha, senior legislative representative, AARP government affairs, explained what people over 50 think: 49 percent believe they will move to allow them to age independently; 55 percent would consider leaving their community to find one that is safer; 29 percent would move to a different community, and 18 percent would move into a different residence within their current community. While 69 percent would consider sharing a home with a family member, 54 percent with a friend, and six percent with a stranger. . .
