The City of South San Francisco is creating partnerships with homeowners motivated to build an ADU/in-law unit. They've created a new ADU Technical Assistance program for homeowners to help make the process less overwhelming.
If you are thinking about building a new ADU or creating a JADU on your property and believe that you could benefit from support throughout the process, free ADU feasibility and project management support provided by HelloADU and paid for by the City of South San Francisco is now available. Our team of design and construction experts are ready to help you figure out what's possible with your property.
