ADU Fair of San Mateo County

ADU Fair of San Mateo County | Sunday, October 11 | 10 AM – 12 PM | Burlingame Community Center
Sunday, October 11 | 10 AM – 12 PM | Burlingame Community Center

As California laws continue to make it easier to build an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), more homeowners are taking advantage of this opportunity. Building an ADU can be a great way to add more housing to the community, house extended family and add value to a property.

If you and your clients are interested in learning more about ADUs, join us at this FREE event hosted by the non-profit ADU Resource Center of San Mateo County to get your questions answered!

Whether you're curious about design, cost, financing, or ROI, you'll have the chance to speak directly with industry experts (architects, contractors, lenders & more), get expert insights from an ADU specialist on what you can build, learn about opportunities to rent your unit out affordably to community members, and hear presentations on various aspects of ADU construction.

Attendees will be able to tour real ADUs in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties after the Fair.

SAMCAR Volunteers Help Restore Coastal Habitat in Pacifica
On Friday, July 17, SAMCAR's Young Professionals Network, SAMCAR YPN, gathered volunteers to join the Pacific Beach Coalition (PBC) for a habitat restoration activity in Pacifica on the Rockaway Switchbacks, known as the Lynn Adams Trail. The group was honored to have City of Pacifica Mayor Christine Boles and Councilmember Sue Beckmeyer greet volunteers to start the day and offer gratitude and encouragement for the hands-on work of protecting the ecosystems of the San Mateo County coast. Together, volunteers removed at least 100 pounds of green waste and tens of thousands of invasive seeds that would have otherwise spread. This activity was supported by a generous contribution from SAMCAR's Community Engagement Fund.
