About Us

The Clerisity Story.  The State’s 2020 Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) laws give individual homeowners control of their parcel’s development, in time, the economic advantage to homeowners and their descendants may match the 1978 Prop 13 tax revolution.

At Clerisity, we understand the ADU opportunity to homeowners and our community’s workforce.  As shown in chart, affordable workforce housing is only addressed at the lower end of possible ADU offerings when a reasonable return on the investment by a homeowner is considered.

Our market driven ADU designs are passive income generators (see chart). At the lowest entry level our ADU wall kit (COV100) converts any attached or detached space into an income generator.

Clerisity applies lean manufacturing principles to incrementally address cost and sustainable resourcing.

The 2% rule of real estate. Unique to Clerisity, we use the ‘2% rule of real estate’ as a serious design and engineering objective. For success, we recognize that we need to support all facets of small living through homeowner developers from conception to occupation and sustainable usage beyond.
