Increasing ADUs on Long Island and in Queens: Newsday Covers “Funds for Accessory Housing”

Newsday ran a cover story on the expansion of New York's Plus One ADU Program. “The statewide program aims to curb the affordable housing shortage by offering Long Island homeowners up to $125,000 in a forgivable loan to build or retrofit accessory dwelling units, also known as ADUs…,” reported Newsday. “Low- to moderate-income homeowners who live in the towns of Babylon, Brookhaven, Huntington, Shelter Island, Southampton, and Southold can currently get the funding on Long Island. Other places where funds were awarded under the program include  New York City and several localities in the Hudson Valley. Housing nonprofits and municipalities have partnered to apply for the funding, according to the state  Division of Housing and Community Renewal.”
