How Will the ADU Boom Impact Californians?

California is experiencing a boom in accessory dwelling units (ADUs). Since the first ADU bill was passed in 2016, allowing ADUs on single-family home properties, the number of ADU permits has skyrocketed. However, along with this surge in development, some city leaders and residents are raising concerns for the community.

Join us as we explore the growing trend of ADUs in California. We will speak with homeowners, developers, investors, city leaders, and community organizers to discuss what it takes to build and use ADUs, their potential benefits and risks, and their impacts on the housing market in California.
