US EditionHigh School Students Build Tiny Homes to Help Solve Bay Area Housing Crisis
- In 2025, a nonprofit collaborated with students from San Rafael High School to present two accessory dwelling units they built throughout the academic year during a Saturday afternoon event.
- The ADUs were built from August to May to provide permanent housing for low-income families amid the Bay Area housing shortage.
- Participants and the program director noted that constructing each 160-square-foot ADU requires around $65,000 for labor and materials, plus an additional $40,000 to $60,000 to install the unit on a permanent foundation and connect it to utilities.
- Program Director Sean Ticknor emphasized that their collaborative effort not only provides valuable hands-on learning for students but also makes a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals by supporting affordable housing.
- The project supports practical skills for students and contributes to local affordable housing as ADUs gain attention as a partial solution to rising housing costs.
