Summary

The Family First Housing Act lets owners of single‑family homes add a single accessory dwelling unit (ADU) that can be occupied only by a qualifying parent of the owner or the owner's spouse. Local governments, homeowners’ associations and similar entities may not block the construction, use, or occupancy of such units, though they can enforce ordinary building and safety codes. The law also provides penalties for misuse and gives owners the right to seek court relief and attorney fees.
