Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Legislation Adopted in Milwaukee
Statement from Common Council President José G. Pérez July 15, 2025
We’ve worked hard to get to this point. When it comes to diversity of housing options, Milwaukee needs to stay in alignment with its peer cities and the region as a whole. ADUs are a commonly used tool that yields a variety of benefits for cities and residents such as creating more affordable and intergenerational housing. I’m thankful that a majority of my colleagues saw fit to pass a less restrictive version of my ADU legislation that provides us with another option to continue to tackle our city’s housing issues.
