This week on Power House, Diego sits down with Mike McNamara, the co-founder and CEO of Samara, a company that focuses on building pre-fab housing products and accessory dwelling units (ADUs). Originally born inside the Airbnb space, Samara is trying to revolutionize housing by providing flexible living spaces that serve a diverse set of needs, from generating rental income to accommodating multi-generational families.

Mike talks about how ADUs might be an unexpected solution to some of our housing shortage problems, especially in dense areas like California. He also talks about what the future looks like for diverse households and the community work that they’re doing to help wildfire victims in Southern California.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • Why backyard ADUs are becoming the go-to option for housing flexibility and supplemental rental income

  • How Samara handles the entire ADU process in as little as 7 months

  • What sets Samara apart from other traditional prefab builders

  • Why California’s zoning laws have helped ADUs take off, and what other states can learn from that

  • Inside Samara’s $15M initiative to donate homes to wildfire survivors
