Everything you need to know about ADUs
We're pulling out all the stops to ensure Chicago City Council votes to allow accessory dwelling units (ADUs) citywide at the September 25th City Council meeting. Here is a quick summary of the three (‼️) ADU-related events we have planned this month:
"ADUs 101" Advocacy Webinar - September 8th
Interested in advocating for ADUs but don't know where to start? We have the perfect webinar for you! We will cover a brief history of ADUs in Chicago, the upcoming City Council vote, how to discuss and frame ADUs to elected officials, and how to give public comment in person at City Hall.
Woodlawn ADU House Tour - September 23rd
Join Abundant Housing Illinois on Tuesday, September 23rd, 2025 at 6:30pm for a tour and talk with Benjamin Van Horne of Greenline Homes and Wayne Beals, Chicagoland's GREEN realtor! Designed with a ground-floor ADU, this all-electric home is ready for grandparents to assist with childcare or for use as a rental unit to offset the cost of a mortgage. Attendance is free for Abundant Housing Illinois members and 20th Ward residents (please reply to this email for your promotional code if you don't use Slack).
