Support Agenda Item 23-1243
Dear Decision Maker,

Everyone deserves to age in a home and community of their choosing. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are an ideal solution to keep families together — an economic alternative to the high cost of assisted living centers. ADUs help with aging-in-place and living in communities near loved ones. They provide an opportunity to house caregivers close by, in turn helping our loved ones who need caregiving.

That’s why I’m asking you to ensure that homeowners have options when looking into suitable housing that fits their life stage by supporting Agenda Item 23-1243.

This proposal allows for a homeowner to meet the housing needs of their parents, adult children, grandchildren, or other loved ones while also providing an option to the homeowner to exercise their property rights to gain additional income. ADUs can assist in providing appropriate housing to essential workers such as teachers, nurses, or first responders, who would like to live in the communities they serve.

Again, I’m urging you to support agenda item 23-1243. Thank you for helping to make La Crosse a true age-friendly community.

Thank you.
