Following the Jan. 24, 2020 Downtown on the Go Friday Forum on Aging in Place, we are talking about innovative, uncommon housing options. One of the challenges when talking about affordable housing is that most of the solutions require a lot of money, and time. What if you have neither? Are you out of luck? Well, maybe not. There are some alternative housing options out there and we focus on two: Renting a room in a senior’s home, and adding a DADU (detached accessory dwelling unit) to a backyard.
Joy Stanford of Shared Housing Services and Ken Miller of DADU Homes talk through the details of becoming a shared housing provider or tenant, and the costs and details of building a DADU. Loads of useful information!
Note that you can listen to the Friday Forum too. Look for it where you find your podcasts or on our Crossing Division website.
