The ABCs of ADUs
Accessory dwelling units are small homes that exist on the same property lot as a single-family residence. This 24-page, image-filled publication is a primer for local leaders and anyone interested in learning more about accessory dwelling units and how they expand housing options for people of all ages.
Discovering and Developing Missing Middle Housing
The nation is mostly missing (and needs) a set of residential building types that exist in the middle of the continuum from detached single-family houses to large apartment buildings. Learn what missing middle housing is, where it still exists, and why it’s time for communities nationwide to return this versatile residence type to America’s housing portfolio.
AARP Housing Design Competition Tool Kit
One way local leaders, universities, housing advocates and building professionals can encourage the creation of the housing we need is by hosting a housing design competition. This tool kit explains how a "universal design" focused design competition can be a stepping stone for developing housing that’s both needed and suitable for people of all ages.
