New ADU law changes in Massachusetts worry elders, may push them out as it lifts senior-specific housing protections.

Elders in Massachusetts are concerned that recent changes in Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) laws may force them out of their homes as they age. The new laws have removed requirements that prioritized elderly and disabled homeowners, potentially driving up home prices and rents. This shift could make it harder for seniors to stay in their communities. Public comment on the new regulations is open until January 10, with final rules expected in February.
