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.
