Accessary Dwelling Unit Accelerator Program <br />It is no secret the State of California is facing a shortage of available and affordable <br />housing, and no one knows this better than our local cities and towns. From my first <br />days in the State Senate, I have been a staunch supporter of cities seeking new and <br />unique ways to spur the production of housing while blending new developments <br />within the fabric of their communities. <br />I would like to announce the newly created ADU Accelerator Program. The ADU <br />Accelerator Program offers rebates of up to $15,000 for qualifying ADU plans and <br />projects. This $2.5 million state-funded initiative is intended to encourage and facilitate <br />the construction of 350 ADUs in 15 cities and towns in Contra Costa and Alameda <br />Counties. <br />Please see attached an overview of this exciting new program along with everything <br />needed to apply and receive funds. Our goal is to have all 15 of our eligible cities <br />participate to show local governments statewide what can be achieved when cities work <br />together with the state on an incentivized program aimed at producing more affordable <br />housing. Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. <br />Sincerely, <br />ATTACHMENT 2 <br />Page 23 of 126
