The City of Seaside is launching its ADU Loan Program to offer thirty-year 0% interest deferred loans to eligible occupant homeowners to renovate, rehabilitate or construct Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU’s) to rent to low-income occupants at an approved affordable rent rate.  

The Program is available to homeowners whose gross household income does not exceed 80% of Monterey County’s Area Median Income (AMI) adjusted by household size. The maximum loan (“Loan”) amount per Borrower is $100,000.

- Applications close October 15, 2023

The ADU Loan Program provides low-income homeowners with housing options for family members or tenants. Homeowner participants receive support from the City to design, permit, construct, and rent their ADUs with a zero-interest, deferred 30-year loan (no monthly payments required). 

ADU LOAN PROGRAM BENEFITS

- Increased property value
