costs and adult children staying home
longer.
Population growth in the United States
is also driving this trend. According to
Pew, the population increase includes
foreign-born Asian, Black, and Hispanics,
who are more likely to live under
one roof. The demographic shift is apparent
in home buying trends. A recent
National Association of Home Builders
(NAHB) survey of home buyers shows
that half of African Americans (50%)
and Hispanics (53%) say they prefer
a home designed for multiple generations.
Multigenerational
households also
form so that grandparents can help
care for their grandchildren, and their
children can care for them as they
age. This arrangement can also lessen

financial burdens, with several generations
contributing to the mortgage
payment and eliminating childcare
expenses, retirement housing, or professional
caregiving environments.
Home builders and remodelers are
building and renovating homes to
meet the needs of multigenerational
households. These designs allow
many generations of the same family
to live under one roof yet have private
areas and combined living spaces.
Features of multigenerational home
plans can include in-law suites within
the main home with separate areas
for independent living. These often
have kitchenettes, ensuite bathrooms,
and sometimes private entrances
from the street. In addition, they
frequently include " universal design "
