Although ADUs are still less expensive to develop than a primary home, it’s clear that incentives, interventions, and innovative strategies are needed to improve the equitable adoption of ADUs by a broader range of homeowners. We talk with the innovators who are finding solutions to the complex challenges of ADU affordability to reduce the cost of building an ADU.
