What is an ADU?
Accessory dwelling units, or ADUs, are one of the most practical first steps a community can take toward a more incremental, affordable, and adaptable housing system. An ADU is a small, independent home located on the same lot as a primary residence.

Thanks to all the business owners and community leaders who took the time to welcome our walking tour of downtown Fayetteville, Ark. last week!
We saw a multigenerational live-work building and learned about the process of rediscovering a building under a 1960s facade.

If we want fewer people living outside, we need to rebuild the housing ladder from the bottom up.
