Churches are looking to use their real estate assets to address the growing housing affordability crisis and their own need for financial sustainability. Congregations are talking, and millions of homes are possible. New Way Homes, a non-profit that runs an impact investment fund for affordable housing development, and Workbench, a develop-design-build firm, have partnered to create a new development model.

Workbench is pleased to collaborate with Plumas County on their state grant funded SB2 pre-designed ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) program.

We want everyone to live in a healthy home. A healthy home provides good indoor air quality (IAQ) through the types of interior materials chosen and how the interior spaces are ventilated. Here are some suggestions for materials for your ADU that are low-emitting materials that do not release significant pollutants and support a healthy indoor environment.

Workbench is pleased to collaborate with the County of Monterey on their pre-designed ADU program. Workbench designed 3 unit sizes; a one-bedroom 750 sq.ft unit, a two-bedroom x sf and a three-bedroom, two bath 1200 sq.ft. unit. Home owners also have the choice to select two different styles, 'Ventana Ranch' and 'Mediterranean Modern'.
