ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS

Accessory Dwelling Units or ADUs can help provide housing solutions for local workers, college students, provide multi-generational housing options, plus offer income opportunities for community members.

The Housing Solutions Partnership’s goal is to provide four plan sets for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) that are pre-approved and available to the public free of charge. The plans could be submitted to local jurisdictions with minimal changes to ensure compliance with local codes. This will help provide housing solutions for local workers, college students, provide multi-generational housing options, plus offer income opportunities for community members.

Plans for Accessory Dwelling Units were submitted by local architects, home designers and engineers, and the NIBCA past president helped select four plan sets to be reviewed by building department heads from local municipalities. Once the plans have been reviewed, local jurisdictions will provide feedback.

Plans are expected to be available by the end of July.
