        "text": "An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a secondary housing unit on a single-family residential lot. It can be attached to the primary home, a converted garage, or a separate structure in the backyard. ADUs provide independent living facilities, including a kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping area. They are often used for family members, as rental units to generate income, or as flexible living space. Building an ADU can add significant value to a property and provide versatile housing options.",
