units (ADUs) in areas zoned for single-family dwellings.</span><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#7F7F7F;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#7F7F7F;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Shrestha says AARP will let the communities know what it discovers on the tour, and inform Oregon's leaders as well. "We hope to share it with policymakers, decision makers, and community leaders across the state so that we can get a greater commitment from
our leaders about the kind of policies and practices that would help communities to become more age-friendly and livable for people 50-plus,” she says.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
