We’re thrilled to invite our community to our upcoming open house later this month, showcasing one of our very first Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)! 🏡 After a long journey, we’re proud to present this innovative solution that demonstrates how ADUs can add gentle density to our neighborhoods. By providing alternative housing options, we’re not just enhancing our community—we're also fostering inclusivity and sustainability. Join us to explore this new space and see firsthand how ADUs can benefit our community. We can’t wait to connect with our neighbors and share our vision for a more diverse housing landscape!

We deeply appreciate these community partnerships that support our mission to promote health equity. #LifeAtNCH #HealthEquity
