Bill 119 s 686, also known as the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Act, aims to make changes to the Housing Act of 1949 in order to allow certain grants to be used for the construction of accessory dwelling units. These units, also known as ADUs, are secondary housing units located on the same property as a primary residence.The bill seeks to address the growing demand for affordable housing by providing funding for the development of ADUs, which can help increase the supply of rental units and provide additional income for homeowners. By allowing grants to be used for ADUs, the bill aims to incentivize the construction of these units and promote affordable housing options.
In addition to permitting grants to be used for ADUs, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to housing. These may include regulations for the construction and maintenance of ADUs, guidelines for eligibility for grant funding, and measures to ensure that ADUs meet certain standards for safety and livability. Overall, Bill 119 s 686 represents a potential solution to the affordable housing crisis by expanding funding options for the construction of ADUs. By providing financial support for these units, the bill aims to increase the availability of affordable housing options and address the housing needs of low and moderate-income individuals and families.
