Eileen Murphy

I live in a detached ADU behind the house owned by my sister, her husband with physical disabilities, and their 4-year-old. I support them by helping with yard work, maintenance and child care. They support me by providing a stable, affordable place to rent close to my job, where I’m the executive director of a small nonprofit with a food pantry and affordable housing. As a 39-year-old single person, this ADU makes it possible to live close to my family and work in community development serving others in need. If we want people to “stay, work, play” in NH, we need more housing and more diverse housing options.
