Whether you’re just curious about what’s possible or ready to build, the What’s Brewing ADU Fair brings the people, expertise and resources you need together in one place.
Start with a quick look at the latest housing updates in Bend and Central Oregon before turning the conversation to ADUs—what’s changing, what homeowners should know, and some of the efforts underway to make adding an ADU easier and more accessible.
Curious about adding an ADU? Hear from Kerry Bell with the City of Bend, Jackie Haddon with LiveAble Homes, Thomas Bennett with Simplicity by Hayden Homes and Ian Burgess with Sierra James Construction about what homeowners should know about planning and building an ADU.
Hear directly from the City of Bend and local housing experts, explore real ADU projects and homeowner experiences, and learn about resources available to help you move an idea forward. There is also a showcase of the Bend Chamber’s Pre-Approved ADU Design Library (PADL), a collection of city-approved designs created to help simplify the path to building an ADU.
Then, stick around for the ADU Resource Fair. Connect directly with local builders, designers, lenders, housing organizations and public agencies who can help you answer your questions and explore your next steps.

Timbergon Modular
Hiatus Homes
Starr Designs & Architecture
Central Oregon YIMBY
