What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Affordable Housing Trust in Great Barrington is currently accepting applications for a program offering zero-percent interest, forgivable loans to qualified homeowners who wish to build Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). These units must be offered to renters whose income is below 100 percent of the area median income. The Trust has allocated $150,000 for these awards, with no single award exceeding $100,000.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The initiative is designed to encourage the creation of affordable housing options in the area. This program comes as Berkshire County has been noted for its slow adoption of ADU legality due to high construction costs and gaps in public infrastructure.
