Oakland’s Accessory Dwelling Unit Loan Program (ADULP) provides financing and technical assistance to low-income homeowners to convert an existing unpermitted secondary unit into a legal Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU). The property must be located in an Opportunity Zone.
Many
secondary units in Oakland were developed outside of the required permitting
process. The ADU Loan Program was designed to help ensure that these units are safe, legal,
and can continue to provide flexible housing options for tenants or family
members and potentially rental income for low-income Oakland homeowners. Participants receive a deferred payment loan of up to $100,000 and guidance with the design, bidding, permitting, and construction processes.
