LOS ANGELES—Councilman Bob Blumenfield on May 20 proposed exploring the creation of a citywide program to finance the construction of accessory dwelling units [ADUs], also known as granny flats, to house formerly homeless Angelenos.

“As the city continues to expand its inventory of homeless interventions, and with [Proposition] HHH projects averaging $531,000 per unit, ADUs can provide long-term, cost-effective, affordable solutions for Angelenos experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity,'' Blumenfield’s motion states.
