PA Housing Choices Coalition Call to Action!

We need you to reach out to your representatives to support both HB 2186 (accessory dwelling units or ADUs) and HB 2109 ("The Golden Girls Law" or occupancy reform).

Both HB 2186 and HB 2109 are scheduled for a floor vote in the House during the first 3 days of June.

By enabling small-scale homes like ADUs and modernizing outdated occupancy limits, the legislature can take meaningful action to address Pennsylvania’s housing shortage.

These bills offer practical, bipartisan solutions to expand housing options, ease cost burdens, and allow more people to live in communities of their choosing.

TAKE ACTION: https://housingalliancepa.org/take-action/ #/137

What Are Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Why Are They Needed?

ADUs, also known as granny flats, guesthouses, or backyard cottages, are independent residences that are detached from, attached to, or within a larger primary dwelling on a single lot.

ADUs can:

Help seniors age in place and stay in their communities
Support caregivers and adult children living near family
Increase naturally affordable housing without changing neighborhood character.

What is the Golden Girls Law and Why Is It Needed?

This law would prohibit local municipalities from enforcing zoning or housing restrictions on the number of non-related people (e.g., roommates, friends) who can live together.

Inspired by the TV show The Golden Girls, the bill aims to:

Reduce housing costs
Improve affordability
Modernize outdated residential rules that limit sharing housing
