ADU for Lenders | ADU Grant | CalHFA Over the past several years, California�s housing production has not kept pace with market demand. The lack of housing has caused soaring prices, where homes are even available, or has left Californians with no choice but to commute much further out from where they work to find suitable housing.
Housing alternatives, such as Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), are on the rise to assist with the housing shortage outside of just relying on traditional construction models. New funding laws also went into effect that incentivized and promoted the creation of ADUs also known as granny flats, in-law units, backyard cottages, or secondary units.
ADUs are an innovative, affordable, effective option for adding much-needed housing in California. CalHFA�s ADU Grant Program has already created more housing units in California by providing grants up to $40,000 to reimburse pre-development and non-recurring closing costs associated with the construction of an ADU.
Pre-development costs include site prep, architectural designs, permits, soil tests, impact fees, property surveys, and energy reports. December 28, 2023 - The latest round of ADU funding has been fully allocated. If anyone approaches you saying they can help you get an ADU Grant, it is a financial scam.

Five weeks after a federal judge vacated the FY2026 Continuum of Care NOFO in its entirety, HUD published a Notice of Research Justifying Additional Incentives for Certain Activities To Reduce Homelessness. It is not a NOFO and not a proposed rule — it is the administrative record HUD needs to reissue the same policy and survive the next lawsuit. Here is what the four named activities tell you about the revised competition, why the October 13 comment deadline is now the real leverage point, and what CoC leads should be building right now.
Read articleThe FY2026 MEP Center State Competition ran in two rounds: eight states worth $139.1 million, then fourteen more worth $232.4 million, both closing August 21, 2026. That's 43 percent of the national network recompeted in twelve months, under a 50 percent non-federal cost share, while the administration's own budget request proposed eliminating the program. Here's what the award tables reveal, why incumbents are genuinely at risk, and how to position for the FY2027 wave.
Read articleOn August 14, 2026, the California Arts Council approved nearly $24.6 million across 1,200 grant awards. Buried in the release is a rare thing: before-and-after data showing exactly how much the ranked-priority bonus moved the pool. Small organizations went from 53% of applicants to 72% of awardees. Geography moved 19 points. First-time status barely moved at all. Here is what that means for the 2027 cycle.
