Does Sacramento offer any financial incentives for homeowners who build ADUs?

The California Housing Finance Agency had an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Grant Program that offered up to $40,000 towards pre-development and non-recurring closing costs associated with the construction of an ADU. This covered costs such as site preparation, architectural designs, permits, soil tests, impact fees, property surveys, and energy reports. However, as of March 1, 2023, all funds for this grant program were fully reserved. The agency is keeping the grant program information available to help borrowers and lenders as they continue to process grants in their pipeline​1​.
