Massachusetts is seeing early results from a new housing law aimed at easing costs and expanding options. In just six months, more than 800 homeowners applied to build accessory dwelling units — small, independent spaces often called “granny flats” or “in-law apartments” — and over 500 were approved. Gov. Maura Healey says ADUs can help seniors stay put, give families income opportunities, and provide independence for people with disabilities. The state hopes streamlined approvals will add thousands of affordable homes in the coming years. Ryan Kushner with SmartCitiesDive has the full story.
