Housing Trust Silicon Valley’s Small Homes, Big Impact Program is hosting another Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) workshop!
ADUs are secondary units to the primary single-family home on a lot. They are a great option to provide housing to family members like aging parents and adult children as well as friends to help they stay in this high-cost area. It also provides an opportunity for homeowners to create wealth.
This is a FREE event where a panel of experts will answer the following five questions for you:
- Can I build an ADU on my site?
- How do I get an ADU permitted?
- How do I put a team together to design and manage construction?
- How do I pay for the ADU?
- I’m a landlord, now what?
To attend the event you must complete the following steps by Monday, January 28:
1) Register for the workshop through Eventbrite; and
2) Complete a survey by clicking here.
Homework Assignment Please download and complete the homework assignment prior to the workshop, click here to download. Please bring assignment with you to the workshop.
Due to the high volume of interest only ONE person per household is allowed to attend; only registered homeowners that have completed the survey will be allowed entry. This ADU Workshop is a requirement for eligibility for financial assistance through Housing Trust Silicon Valley, please make sure you sign-in and sign-out. Upon completion of workshop, homeowners will receive a free copy of Backdoor Revolution: The Definitive Guide to ADU Development by Kol Peterson.
We have reserved a limited number of seating for industry professionals (i.e. builders, designers, real estate professionals, lenders etc.); if you are one, you must register as an “auditor.” We ask that you do not solicit homeowners with your services.
Check-in will begin at 8:00am and the workshop will start sharply at 9:00am.
