The Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Budget Workshop is an opportunity for Boston homeowners who are interested in building an ADU in their home or on their property to develop a plan to budget for and finance their project.

The workshop is open to the public. Participation in the ADU Budget Workshop and ADU Design Workshop is required to qualify for the Boston Home Center's ADU Financial Assistance Program. 

The workshop is a helpful step in making a financial plan and determining the cost and financial feasibility of building an ADU on your property.

Memory cafés meet at a variety of places, including coffeehouses, museums, or community organizations. Each memory café is different. Some cafés invite guest artists, some offer education about memory changes. And some are just for relaxing and chatting. But, all cafés share one goal — to help guests feel comfortable and to know that they are not alone. Cafés are a place to talk with others who understand what you are going through. You can forget about your limitations and instead focus on your strengths.
