RASCW Awarded AARP Community Challenge Grant
We are thrilled to announce that The REALTORS® Association of South Central Wisconsin (RASCW) has been awarded an AARP Community Challenge Grant! This grant allows RASCW to host an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) design competition during Madison’s Housing Week in October.
“We are honored to receive this grant from AARP to help bring more visibility and viability to Accessory Dwelling Units in Madison,” said RASCW Board President Sona Olson. "Whether it’s a space for multigenerational living, or a way to add much-needed inventory to our housing market, these small homes have the potential to make a big impact."

It is part of AARP’s nationwide Livable Communities initiative, which supports the efforts of cities, towns, neighborhoods and rural areas to become great places to live for people of all ages.
