Casita Coalition

Casita Coalition is a California-based organization dedicated to promoting the use of small homes, such as accessory dwelling units (ADUs), cottage clusters, and duplexes, across the state. Founded in 2020, they operate a team of 4 employees focused on expanding access to affordable housing solutions. While headquartered in San Francisco, their efforts have statewide impact, aiming to increase housing choice throughout California. Casita Coalition advocates for policies and provides resources to facilitate the construction of these smaller living spaces. They work to educate homeowners, builders, policymakers, and members of the planning community on best practices for implementing ADUs and similar structures. Their target audience includes homeowners looking to maximize their property use, developers interested in affordable housing options, and policymakers seeking innovative solutions for California's housing challenges. Recognized for successfully promoting landmark California legislation supporting the construction of ADUS, they continue to act as a knowledge hub, disseminating information and practical guidance. By fostering collaboration amongst diverse stakeholders, Casita Coalition strives to overcome barriers and mainstream the adoption of smaller homes in California neighborhoods.
