Title: Unlocking the Potential of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) in California | Housing Revolution!

Description:
Join us on a journey into the world of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and discover why they're taking California by storm! ADUs add value to your property, generate rental income, and offer housing solutions for extended family members. California has recognized their significance and has recently simplified ADU building requirements.

🏡 In 2020, ADU permits issued skyrocketed to nearly 12,400, a 30% annual increase from 2019. Homeowners are seizing the opportunity! But what exactly qualifies as an ADU in California? They are independent housing units with complete living facilities – detached, attached, converted existing space, or Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADU).

📜 Explore key law changes making ADU construction more affordable:
1️⃣ No longer restricted to one ADU per single-family lot – add two more units!
2️⃣ Owner occupancy is no longer required, opening doors for landlords and investors.
3️⃣ Eased size, lot, and setback requirements – build an 800 sq ft ADU with 16 ft height, approved in just 60 days.
4️⃣ Some ADUs are exempt from parking requirements, promoting accessibility.
5️⃣ Overruled Homeowner Association restrictions ensure fair opportunities for all.

💰 Financial aid options, including state grants like the $40,000 grant from CalHFA, make ADU development more feasible for qualifying homeowners. Exciting legislation on the horizon, such as SB 897 and AB 2221, promises increased height limits, retroactive permitting, and streamlined approval processes.
