What is The ADU Hour?

We stepped into the Coronavirus vacuum in April and May, 2020, with some timely, educational and practically useful content about a topic that is near and dear to us, ADUs. The general objective of the ADU Hour program is to help increase the supply and demand for ADUs and other small, infill housing.

The program is hosted by Kol Peterson features a guest for each show. Kol interviews the guest for an initial interview portion of the program that lasts roughly 40 minutes. Then, we took questions for the attendees from guests for roughly 15 minutes.

I missed the live shows. How can I watch any of these sessions?

The video are now only available to ADU Specialists. Audio of the episodes is available as a free audio podcast from this page.

I bought a subscription to watch ADU Hour before March, 2023. How do I access the videos?

You can access them here, using the special code that Kol sent you by email on March 6th, 2023.

Here’s what other professional attendees had to say about the series when asked, “Would you suggest all or any part of the series to colleagues or friends?”

I would suggest this series to any jurisdiction interested in adopting or refining their ADU codes and policies.
