Coalition Webinar Looks at One Tool for Addressing Housing Crisis

As the Coalition for More Housing Choices, we were proud to recently host a virtual policy conversation on how accessory dwelling units (ADUS or “backyard cottages”) are a positive contribution in addressing the current housing crisis.

A video recording of the conversation may be viewed online, including a presentation by panelists. Presentations and a panel conversation included participation from:

• Shannon Guzman, AARP Public Policy Institute, senior strategic policy advisor

• Donald I. King, FAIA Nehemiah Initiative, Coalition for More Housing Choices steering committee member

• Dan Bertolet, Sightline Institute

We especially thank Representative Cindy Ryu for sharing her policy perspective and personal stories about the value of making ADUs a more accessible choice in our communities. And a big thank you to Cathy MacCaul, Coalition for More Housing Choices steering committee member and AARP Washington State advocacy director, for moderating the conversation.
