        "text": "An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a secondary housing unit on a single-family residential lot. Converting your garage into an ADU can provide numerous benefits. It can serve as a rental unit for additional income, a dedicated space for family members, or a private home office. This type of conversion maximizes your property's potential without needing to build a completely new structure, often offering a more cost-effective way to add living space compared to traditional home additions. It can also increase your property value and flexibility.",
