Thu May 5 03:40:26 EDT 2022

homeowners find difficult to overcome when it comes to development and
construction, and some traditional and nontraditional options folks are
using to get ADUs built.

Over the last decade-plus, ADUs have become increasingly popular in cities
across the nation, especially on the West Coast. Carrie Whitley (above) and
her husband live in Santa Cruz, California, and they built this ADU on
their property. Their daughter now lives there. Photo courtesy of Accessory

What's All the Hype About ADUs?

This week, Shelterforce launched its new Under the Lens series—ADUs
Explained
<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001IDSjei6Lm5qzv195naOTBivBaUajzSMcqj44fimThu64YCnFU2jzGQIQmbcC0qSZ9NaRUNC1i8KdRy6popuNw2VDqR5ekjBdhLqcbu9Ub7DbuQaVH5LB_qQSxLIfwb6nNRfkeqSP__4yufwwxhkABVrv5ymrqASsbtC7pUY8IyaBloOyHQ6nqQ==&c=yUe_8uhQhH4doX3YrEATkex8VNOB0fELeIlkvKXCpzAtCMF0vu6ODw==&ch=Lf_d37Eu9ODqRyg3fJ9H2iWa3c2ypePVdLMycl2Z78beTjuj-JkwOw==>.
For the next three weeks, Shelterforce's Shelby R. King will explore
all-things ADU: how local governments are approaching legalization, how
advocates are trying to make ADU mortgages more affordable, what statewide
legislation to encourage large-scale ADU development looks like, and lots
more.

But first, make sure you catch up with Miriam Axel Lute's editor's note, "What
Does it Take to Get ADUs Built?
