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.
Operated by the City of Los Angeles, the LA ADU Accelerator Program pairs older adults with homeowners willing to provide a stable home by offering their accessory dwelling units (ADUs) as affordable rentals. In exchange, homeowners receive benefits such as qualified tenant referrals, tenant case management, and stable rental payments. Visit the program website or email adu@lacity.org for more information.
