Our Prototyping Journey
-
Los Angeles is testing ways to incentivize homeowners to open their backyards to recently homeless individuals by building and demo-ing an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), culminating in an “open house” that will engage the community in experiencing how the ADU will look and feel.
Today is the first in-person session for the LA team with our #MayorsChallenge coach, looking to refine our idea and figure out how to test out some assumptions. #Innovation #LosAngeles @BloombergDotOrg

One thing we're discovering through testing
According to the survey conducted by the LA team, 10% of those surveyed are interested in building accessory dwelling units (ADUs) on their property. Further testing revealed that people had very different expectations of their relationship to the prospective tenants. Some anticipated that the door would face the back of their yard, while others would want the ADU facing their home so that they could socialize with the occupant.
The room was packed this morning for a workshop w #losangeles Adult & Family Service Providers to better understand points of view on incentivizing ADUs citywide for social good. #MayorsChallenge @MayorOfLA @LAinnovates @BloombergCities
