Chronology 11 Accessory Dwelling Units

In Burlington, Vermont, city leaders have loosened rules on ADUs, defined as self-contained, independent housing units within or on the same property as a single-family, owner-occupied house, to address the housing crunch. Easy to assemble modular houses and tiny house-style buildings may be among the options.
