The ADU Grant Program in Los Angeles, established by the California Housing Finance Agency, provides financial support for low and middle-income residents to build Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) on their properties. It offers a grant of up to $40,000 that can be applied towards pre-development costs.

California’s 2023 ADU laws simplify adding living spaces to your property, allowing two-story units and easing the permit process. This opens up more design freedom and aims to reduce wait times for homeowners.

In Los Angeles, ADUs must adhere to specific zoning rules and parking requirements, with the possibility of constructing both a Junior ADU and a standard ADU on the same property. Energy efficiency and earthquake readiness are also key regulatory considerations for building an ADU in the city.
