🧵(1/5) This morning, six Omaha neighborhood organizations sent the following letter to the Omaha Planning Director, City Council, and the Mayor's Office requesting changes be made to legalize Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) throughout Omaha.

Check out this 🧵 for what we're up against in passing the Housing Affordability Action plan. See you at city council at 2, in person or on Zoom!

I'm in New York right now. Look at this completely reasonable triplex, two front doors and a side door. Totally legit housing on an R4 size lot. Parking is not an issue on this street. #MissingMiddleHousing

ADUs can support lots of people at all phases of life. We should legalize them in Omaha! Thank you Eli for sharing your experiences with us tonight. 🏘

#28 Affordable housing. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Want to learn about ADUs and how they could help ease some of Omaha's housing issues? There's a meeting for that. (It's August 24th at 6:30!) It's an issue our friends at @MiddleOmaha are really passionate about. Come learn with us! https://t.co/v0zlFFWhF3

ADUs are my jam!

Start diving into the @PlanningOmaha survey results. You might want to open the page on a desktop computer. So many #MissingMiddleHousing types that we should be building, but single home buyers and large developers are stuck mostly at the extremes. Bring back the middle types!

Results from the Affordable Housing Plan open houses are in and we're super excited for how much love ADUs, townhomes, and mixed use got during those sessions! 📣

We took a break from meeting this summer, but we're BACK IN ACTION tomorrow, 8/2 via Zoom. Join us to talk about the Affordable Housing Action Plan, some stakeholder mapping, and more! 🏘️ Register in advance for this meeting: https://t.co/HIF5Sj2abg
