The Seaside City Council is looking at partnering with Habitat for Humanity on a proposed pilot project. The partners are looking at building 3 Accessory Dwelling Units in Seaside. Money would be loaned to low-income property owners, so the ADU’s could be built on their property…with the construction being done by Habitat for Humanity volunteers. The homeowner, who would receive the rent payments, would be required to accept a deed restriction (that they will only rent the ADU to low-income, or very low-income, renters. The deed restriction would expire when the loan is fully re-paid, which should occur within 20 years.
Last month, the Seaside City Council approved a demonstration project that would build 2 ADUs on city-owned property (on Canyon Del Rey Boulevard). That’s separate from the Habitat for Humanity pilot program with the city of Seaside.
