California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA)
CalHFA's ADU Grant Program provided up to $40,000 to reimburse pre-development and non-recurring closing costs (permits, site prep, soil tests, architectural design, impact fees, energy reports) for building an Accessory Dwelling Unit. The program was fully allocated as of December 2023 but may receive new state funding in future budget cycles. San José homeowners should monitor for new rounds.
