You are your client’s and community’s ADU Resource

ADU Specialists are uniquely qualified to present clear, engaging, and accurate information about ADUs to homeowners, professionals, and the broader community.

Presentation Format & Outreach Strategies

ADU Specialists commonly organize public education events in the following ways:

➤ Direct Presentations to Homeowners

Whether at libraries, community centers, or homeowner association meetings, ADU Specialists often present directly to homeowners looking for information about adding an ADU to their property.

➤ Host a Community Presentation

Many ADU Specialists organize hour-long events that combine a guided presentation with a panel discussion. These panels often include:

  • City planning staff or permitting officials

  • Local ADU builders or designers

  • Other housing experts

This format helps local homeowners get a full picture of the ADU process in their own jurisdiction.

➤ Industry Presentations

ADU Specialists are frequently invited to present at:

  • Real estate brokerages

  • Realtor association meetings

  • Home Builders Association events and meetings

These sessions help educate professionals on how to advise clients exploring ADU opportunities.

➤ Local Advocacy Opportunities

Take advantage of local events such as:

  • Housing Week

  • Climate Week

  • Sustainable Building events/meet ups

  • Green Building meetups

Many communities already have events that easily cater to the topic of ADUs and provide a platform to share your expertise.
