From boosting retirement income to supporting multigenerational living, ADUs offer creative, values-aligned solutions for families navigating aging, housing shortages, and rising care costs.

What to expect:

  • How retirees are using ADUs to unlock $4,000+ in monthly income
  • Cost breakdowns and permit incentives you need to know
  • Multigenerational living strategies that support aging parents
  • How ADUs can help adult children during job transitions
  • And more!
