The Housing Crisis: A Call to Action

CMG establishes the Oroville Community Land Trust

The United States is facing an unprecedented housing crisis. Over 580,000 people are homeless, and millions more are struggling to find affordable housing. It’s time for innovative solutions to combat this issue.

• More Than 580,000 People Are Homeless in the U.S.: According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
• The Shortage of Affordable Rental Homes: The National Low Income Housing Coalition reports a shortage of over 7 million affordable rental homes for low-income families.
• Rising Trend of Young Adults Living at Home: According to Pew Research Center, nearly 1 in 3 young adults are living with their parents due to high rent, student loans, and job insecurity, pushing young people to delay traditional milestones like moving out and starting a family.
• ADUs offer a solution by providing a private, independent space for young adults to live—helping families support their children as they transition into adulthood while maintaining their own privacy and space.
• ADUs for Family Members and Friends
  Many families are battling with how to house aging parents, adult children, or friends who are facing financial hardship. ADUs provide the perfect solution for housing family members and friends without overcrowding your home. Whether it’s an aging parent, a sibling returning from college, or a close friend in need of a stable living situation, an ADU allows you to offer them a space to live with privacy and dignity, while still being close to home.

Tiny Home Villages: A Better Alternative to Trailer Parks

Trailers/RV mobile homes often have limited lifespan and low resale value due to wear and tear. In contrast, ADU tiny homes are built to last with modern materials and designs that meet higher safety and environmental standards.

As mobile home park laws become stricter, many trailer parks are being forced to adhere to higher safety and environmental standards, driving up costs and reducing the affordability of this housing solution.

Custom-Built Tiny Homes

Tiny home villages, created using ADUs, are a superior alternative to mobile home parks. They offer safe, affordable, and eco-friendly housing for communities in need.

Affordable and Scalable Solutions for Individuals and Families

ADUs provide flexibility, affordability, and long-term value for homeowners, families, and communities. Whether you’re adding rental units, providing family housing, or building a tiny home village, CMG offers a scalable solution.

Backyard ADUs: Increase Property Value

Adding an ADU can increase the value of your property by as much as 30%+, depending on location and design. This can lead to a substantial return on investment, especially in high-demand rental areas.

Fast, Streamlined Construction Process

ADUs are built in factories pre-permitting for fast construction, so you can start benefiting from your new space immediately. From design to permitting to construction, we help you navigate the process seamlessly so that you can start earning income or providing housing faster than traditional homebuilding methods.

Financial Benefits and Government Incentives

• Tax Benefits and Incentives
  Building an ADU may qualify you for state and local incentives, including tax breaks and grants for affordable housing. CMG can help you navigate these opportunities to maximize your investment.
• Potential for Long-Term Rental Income
  Once built, ADUs offer you the opportunity to generate passive income through long-term rental contracts. In high-demand areas, ADUs can provide a significant return on investment. 2 Bedroom ADUs in markets like California and New York have been known to generate $2,000 to $4,000 in monthly rental income, depending on the location and unit size.

Investment ROI and Typical Mortgage Terms for ADUs

• High Return on Investment (ROI)
  Building an ADU is one of the most cost-effective ways to increase the value of your property and generate income. On average, ADUs can deliver an ROI of 20% to 40% in property value increase and the same annual return on initial investment from a cashflow perspective. This means that an ADU can pay for itself over time through increased rents and higher property value.
• Take on an ADU Mortgage

  • Terms up to 30 years
