![](https://theadubuilder.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/family.png)
Unseparated Families
In residential areas across California, households are commonly split to fit budget constraints. Some members are forced to live in affordable within-state or out-of-state neighborhoods However, as the adoption of ADU housing grows and local jurisdictions promote ADUs, families no longer have to be separated.
![](https://theadubuilder.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/icon-families.webp)
Freedom To Live & Move
Despite being on the same premises as a single-family or multi-family home, an ADU shall have its own permanent and independent provisions for living. Residents of accessory dwelling units have their own kitchen, sleeping quarters, and other amenities, so they have full freedom to live comfortably.
