Portland has a wonky secret to building cheaper houses. Other cities are copying. Portland legalized fourplexes, tiny houses and backyard homes and then sorted out how to actually get them built.

Finding a home has become a game of musical chairs where too many people are competing for too few homes. Portland is helping reset the game by making it legal to build the kinds of homes people need.

Why is housing so expensive in our community? YouTube video by Wasatch Advocates for Livable Communities

Utah is expanding housing options.

With the passage of SB284, the state now has a foundation for Detached Accessory Dwelling Units (DADUs) — small homes that can help create more housing opportunities across Utah.

The bill has been lifted from Rules and placed on the House Third Reading Calendar, keeping it alive heading into the final day of the 2026 legislative session.

SB284 would help lay a foundation for DADUs across Utah.

We will continue to track.
