Incentive Programs
Some cities in LA County have launched their own ADU programs to stimulate the development of ADUs throughout the region. As cities add programs, information on those programs will be included here.
Los Angeles County Accessory Dwelling Unit Loan Pilot Program
In summer 2019, the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) provided homeowners in unincorporated LA County with a forgivable loan of $75,000 to construct new ADUs, and $50,000 for rehabbing existing unpermitted ADUs that will house people transitioning out of homelessness for a minimum of ten years.
Los Angeles City ADU Accelerator Program
Through this program, the City of Los Angeles is providing financial incentives to homeowners who build an ADU on their property and rent it to a resident in need of housing assistance. This pilot program is also open to homeowners who have an existing ADU on their property and choose to put that ADU into the program. Visit the program website or email adu@lacity.org for more information.
