Summary of Bill S 964

Bill 119 s 964, also known as the "Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Act of 2021," aims to make changes to title I of the National Housing Act. The main purpose of this bill is to raise the loan limits for property improvement loans and to specify that these loans can be used for the construction of accessory dwelling units.

An accessory dwelling unit is a secondary housing unit located on the same property as a primary residence. These units can provide additional housing options for homeowners, renters, and families in need of affordable housing. By allowing property improvement loans to be used for the construction of ADUs, this bill seeks to promote the development of these units and increase the availability of affordable housing options.

In addition to increasing loan limits and clarifying the use of funds for ADUs, the bill also includes provisions to ensure that the construction of these units complies with local zoning and building codes. This is important to ensure that ADUs are safe, well-built, and in compliance with local regulations. Overall, Bill 119 s 964 aims to support the development of accessory dwelling units as a way to increase affordable housing options and address the housing shortage in the United States. By making it easier for homeowners to finance the construction of ADUs, this bill has the potential to have a positive impact on housing affordability and availability across the country.
