Abodu’s Accessory Dwelling Units Get Fast-Tracked Permits

Abodu is the first pre-approved vendor to create ADUs in San Jose back yards.

SAN JOSE—As the housing crunch continues in the Bay Area and rents remain above the levels many residents can afford, Accessory Dwelling Units/ADUs are increasingly becoming alternatives for reasonably priced housing options. One Bay Area-based company, Abodu, is leading the way in bringing ADUs to market.

“We won’t solve our housing crisis $650,000 at a time. We have to bend the cost curve in order to build more housing,” said San Jose mayor Sam Liccardo. “We’re grateful for Abodu’s partnership in offering residents pre-approved ‘backyard homes’, which will help add critically needed affordable housing to our city’s housing stock. I encourage others to follow their lead.”
