ABCs of ADUs

As small houses or apartments that exist on the same property lot as a single-family residence, Accessory Dwelling Units — or ADUs — play a major role in serving a national housing need.

This traditional home type is re-emerging as an affordable and flexible housing option that meets the needs of older adults and young families alike.

A primer for elected officials, policymakers, local leaders, homeowners, consumers and anyone interested in housing design and solutions, The ABCs of ADUs: A Guide to Accessory Dwelling Units and How They Expand Housing Options for People of All Ages is 24-page, information- and image-filled introductory and best-practices guide for how communities can include ADUs in their mix of housing options.
