Waterbury ADU Program

Downstreet Housing and The Town of Waterbury have partnered to create an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) program. 

If you are a resident of Waterbury and would like to create an ADU within your home or on your property, this program can offer up to a $30,000 Grant to assist with the construction of your project.

As a requirement of the program, you will need to make a 20% contribution before any funds will be disbursed.  You will also need to rent at or below 110% of the HUD FMR for a minimum of 5 years. 

Disbursement Schedule

This is a reimbursement program and will require paid invoices with matching proof of payment.  There is no retro active reimbursement for work already completed or paid for.

-Initial Disbursement of 35% occurs once a 20% contribution is made to the project.

-2nd Disbursement of 25% occurs once there is proof of the previous 35% disbursement has been used towards the project and is subject to a 50% completion inspection.

-3rd Disbursement of 25% occurs once there is proof of the previous 25% disbursement has been used towards the project and is subject to a 100% completion inspection.
