The Accessible Dwelling Unit (ADU) Program is part of our city's Strategic Housing Implementation Plan (SHIP). SHIP is a plan to build and preserve more than 28,000 affordable homes throughout the next 10 years. The goal is to increase the number of ADUs in neighborhoods.
ADUs are commonly referred to as a guest home, casita, in-law suite, carriage home, alley home or a garage apartment. They are often built as a private, separate home from the primary residence, but ADUs can also be a garage, back room or second floor room that is converted into independent living space from the main house. We have a need in our city for affordable housing, and ADUs can help. ADUs can benefit both the homeowner and the renter. Someone needing a place to live can rent the ADU at an affordable price. By renting out their ADU, the homeowner can then earn extra income and build equity on their property.
