‘Not So Handy Man’ Gets Schooled on Aid for ADUs
At the core of Housing Eagle County’s mission lies a commitment to elevate our community through mentorship and innovative housing solutions. With soaring demand, rising prices, and dwindling inventory, residents are looking for ways to stay ahead. Building Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) has become an attractive option for homeowners seeking to generate extra income while also providing affordable housing for local renters. Housing Eagle County is here to support these goals by offering low-interest loans, ensuring that homeowners, renters, and homebuyers benefit together!
In our latest chapter, we meet James, a local homeowner and part-time jack of all trades who is clearly in over his head trying to build an ADU "all by himself." James has high hopes of generating some extra cash, easing the family’s financial stress, finally buying that ski pass, and maybe even taking the vacation to Hawaii he’s been putting off forever. But things don't go quite as planned. His neighbors, Kyle and Olivia, whom you may remember from "Couples Therapy," can't help but watch as they offer James and his wife, Amy, some much-needed advice: "We used Housing Eagle County’s Aid for ADUs program and a contractor to build that for us." And, even more importantly, we absolutely have to mention, they got permits too! But James, with misplaced confidence, insists, "Guys, I’ve got this!"
Just as James delivers those famous last words, his DIY dreams literally come crashing down. Eyes roll, sighs fly, and the inevitable "I told you so's" follow, making it clear that building an ADU doesn’t have to end in an epic fail. With Housing Eagle County’s Aid for ADUs program, locals like James can access low-interest loans to help fund their ADU projects, adding affordable housing to our community without the DIY headaches or becoming the talk of the town for all the wrong reasons.
It’s a win-win: James makes a few extra bucks every month, and a hardworking local gets a fair and affordable rental to call home. Ready to take the next step toward real housing solutions?
