New York City unveiled a pilot program to help homeowners build accessory dwelling units.

The city will give lucky homeowners up to $395,000 each to construct the extra unit.

The New York State government has also handed out millions of dollars for ADU development.

As cities and towns across the country struggle with a housing shortage, policymakers are looking to legalize and even fund the construction of accessory dwelling units, or "granny flats," on existing residential property.

New York City just unveiled its newest effort, which will hand homeowners up to $395,000 to build an additional apartment. This could mean an extra unit in a garage, basement, or attic, or a tiny home in the backyard. The idea is to boost housing density in a city in desperate need of new housing.

New Yorkers can apply online for the funding, but high-income residents aren't eligible — the income limit for a family of four is $232,980, the New York Times reported. And the ADUs that are built will have a limit on rent: a one-bedroom can't be rented for more than $2,600.

You know harboring aliens is against the law right? so home owners can take that money , build an addition, and refuse to rent to illegal aliens because its against the law . maybe they can require a background check for safety reasons. I hope they rip the government off for every dime

That sure is interesting. This all used to be illegal and $400,000 is a lot of coin to do something like that. At 400,000/$2,600 that comes out to about 13 years for a break even point. I’m not sure why the government is funding this and what the benefit to them might be. I have no issues with the government helping people but we can’t keep spending money and getting no return at all. This is a no return situation other than the small tax on the income from NYC. That’s about 3.5% on average and equates to a tad over $1,000/year so it’s a 400 year break even point. Good business for sure.

I'm pretty sure they just want us to keep our quads, bikes, lawnmowers, and snowmobiles inside.

Spend $5k on a 20 foot metal shipping container.
Call it a tiny home.
Rent it to a family of Ecuadorians for $3K per month.
Profit!

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if finishing out the equivalent of a 2 car garage in NYC cost every bit of $400k, and took 3 years or more to go through permitting, inspections, etc.

At least you could get a few apartments out of that space, at $2,600/mo each.

If the Republicans were serious about illegal immigration, they would have charged a lot of governors and state agents with violations of federal law over their "sanctuary city/state" policies.

Give them the full perp walk in front of the cameras.

Charge them as accessories for any crimes the illegals they harbor commit too.

If the Republicans were serious about illegal immigration,

Thats cause they are the same as the dems, any difference they portray is just more DC theatrics.

I liken it to the feuds of professional wrestling.

There was a time when people believed they were real too.
