Communities are evolving and so are their housing needs. 

For people who want to stay put or return to places they consider home, Accessory Dwelling Units, or ADUs are integral to providing more diverse, attainable housing, and it’s a smart strategy for thoughtful community planning.  

Join speakers from AARP Ohio and Opticos Design and Columbus City Council leaders in the Missing Middle Housing movement, who will focus on what cities need to consider when updating zoning law, offering construction incentives, and building public and political support.  

Hear practical insights and lessons learned from experts who’ve helped cities across the country make ADUs possible. 

 Whether you're a policymaker, citizen, planner, developer or housing advocate, bring your questions for a Q&A segment and join the conversation on how ADUs can positively transform housing in your community.
