South San Francisco
ADU services for homeowners and small landlords
Special Thanks to Our Program Sponsor!
The City of South San Francisco is seeking to create partnerships with homeowners who are motivated to build an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or a Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU) by creating a new ADU Technical Assistance program for homeowners who are ready to build an ADU, but may be overwhelmed by the process.
The City has hired nonprofit Hello Housing to provide free feasibility and project management support through it's HelloADU program to eligible homeowners and small landlords who want to add an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or a Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU) to their property. Our team of design and construction experts are ready to help you figure out what is possible on your property, help you identify and vet good professionals to work with and will help support you in the management of your ADU team throughout the entire development process.
