KINGSTON – Ulster County has been granted $5 million by the state to continue the Plus One Accessory Dwelling Units Program, which provides financial assistance to county homeowners for the construction of new, code-compliant accessory dwelling units.
The program, in partnership with RUPCO, will apply to eight municipalities whose zoning permits ADUs.
They include the City of Kingston, the towns of Woodstock, Saugerties, Rosendale, Lloyd and Ulster, and the villages of Ellenville and New Paltz.
Eligible homeowners, earning 100 percent or less of Ulster County’s Area Median Income, can apply for up to approximately $110,000 for ADU construction or rehabilitation through the program.
In return, participants agree to rent the unit at an affordable rate for a minimum of 10 years.
Award grantees will receive support from the county and RUPCO throughout the design, construction and permitting process.
