NAC Blog: Accessory Dwelling Units: Small but mighty force to address the housing shortage
Accessory dwelling units, or ADUs, are a hot topic in the housing space.

For multigenerational households, ADUs provide additional space for older relatives or young adults in the family.

In 2023, NAHREP intends to execute a strategic plan to advocate for cities and states to not only allow but encourage the building of ADUs as a path to addressing the housing inventory crisis.
