Experience affordable multigenerational living at its finest. Perpetual Homes builds single-family, duplex homes and accessory dwelling units. In response to the housing challenges faced by Californians due to low inventory, high prices and increasing interest rates, ADUs have emerged as a creative solution. Leading the way in providing sustainable turnkey backyard homes is Danville-based Perpetual Homes, a company committed to enhancing property values and addressing the demand for housing solutions. Since 2019, Perpetual Homes' experienced team have been actively involved in delivering eco-friendly and sustainable ADUs throughout the Bay Area. From initial site inspection and permits to construction, utility connections, site cleanup, and final inspections, the company manages every aspect of the project. Founder and President Katherine Anderson's vision revolves around factory-built, award-winning designs using sustainable materials. Recognizing the housing shortage issue, Anderson emphasizes that by some estimates, California is 3.5 million housing units short, contributing to the overall national deficit of around 6 million homes. More households have been formed than homes built over the past decade. California accounts for about half of the national shortage of homes. California's new ADU laws aim to address the housing deficit by allowing the construction of units up to 1,000 to 1,200 square feet, reducing setbacks to 4 feet, waiving certain permitting requirements, eliminating owner-occupancy restrictions, reduced development fees for units under 750 square feet, and implementing a streamlined 60-day review and approval process. Multi-family properties are also eligible for up to two detached ADUs. Under Senate Bill 9, homeowners are allowed to build up to four additional units on their existing lots.
