HEART provides several designs for green, all-electric detached Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) that can be downloaded by the public at no cost. Helping homeowners save on design costs and months of design development time, HEART’s investment allows homeowners to focus their expenditures on improved energy efficiency and renewable energy options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy bills. The cost and time savings make building ADUs more accessible and equitable for homeowners who are struggling with cost constraints and for whom ADUs are cost-prohibitive. Our program contributes to increasing housing stock and our designs can be used anywhere in California. Additionally, we have developed a FREE Green and Livable Accessory Dwelling Unit Resource Guide handbook which provides key information and resources for building ADUs and can be used independently of the ADU designs by all homeowners.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

We focus on increasing affordable housing for middle- and low-income residents in San Mateo County to maintain the diversity and culture of the community while increasing equity. We support the climate action and ensure sustainable development of Green Livable Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) while making the construction of ADUs more equitable by providing free construction plans and a handbook guide. The new construction projects HEART is funding are on average targeting LEED Gold with all the green specifications required under this standard, supporting sustainability, climate action, housing affordability, and partnership goals.
