Accessory dwelling units are one of California's big housing success stories - in LA, one out of five new homes is an #ADU.

More state laws are proposed to open up homeownership opportunities and make it easier and faster to get permits.

Currently, ADUs are required to be rentals. However, many homeowners don't want the hassle of being a landlord. Assemblymember Phil Ting from San Francisco has a bill #AB1033 would allow ADUs to be sold separately.

Community land trusts have also been building ADUs to increase the number of affordable homes on their land. #AB671 from San Diego area Assemblymember Chris Ward would allow CLTs to build ADUs & junior ADUs & sell them to separate homeowners, creating new homeownership opportunities. CLT homes are typically sold at low cost with the restriction that when the buyer sells, it also has to be at a cost affordable to low income households.
