Reinventing the Home: How accessory dwelling units (ADUs) can be a bigger part of the housing solution for DC

Amid DC’s housing affordability crisis, one solution stands out: flexible, outside-the-box ways to increase housing supply. Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) have potential to be one flexible solution.

ADUs improve sustainability by creating more resource-efficient housing; improve housing affordability by adding new supply in previously inaccessible places; and reap both social and financial benefits by promoting intergenerational shared housing for homeowners and renters.

Homeowners still face a series of practical barriers to building ADUs on their property: determining appropriate design options, assessing feasibility, securing financing, navigating the permitting process, developing working relationships with architects and builders, managing the construction process, and ongoing property management.

Presented by the Coalition for SmarterGrowth, DC ADU Workgroup, AIA|DC, and ULI Washington, “Reinventing the Home: How accessory dwelling units (ADUs) can be a bigger part of the housing solution for DC” will convene resources, experience, and stakeholders to begin to address these challenges, and bring ADUs, as a new generation of housing supply, to scale in the District of Columbia.
