Literature review and case studies of local jurisdictions that permit secondary suites .: NH18-23/2015-1E-PDF
This research project showed that secondary suites can offer many benefits for homeowners, tenants and communities. Case studies show that both regulatory support and incentive programs can be used to encourage the development of secondary suites as a safe and affordable rental housing option. A growing number of municipalities now permit secondary suites and have developed policies and approaches related to these non-conventional housing units that include types of secondary suites to be allowed, size and occupancy of suites, and registration requirements. As communities grow, age and evolve to meet changing needs, the demand for affordable housing is likely to lead to increased interest in secondary suites. Policies, programs and guidelines will be needed to help ensure such housing units are safe and legal, meet local requirements and contribute to community well-being.
