Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) continue to be a vital solution to California’s housing shortage crisis. ADUs, additional units on residential lots, offer a promising avenue to increase housing availability. In response to the pressing need for more housing, Los Angeles County, Orange County, and the entire state of California have recently updated laws and guidelines to facilitate ADU construction. The Mortgage Vintage ADU loan program stands ready to support this housing transformation by providing purchase and refinance financing for ADU construction on both owner and non-owner-occupied properties.
