Ulster County Plus One Home Program

How it works

Ulster County says the Plus One ADU Home Program provides funding to assist low- and moderate-income property owners with grants to construct or rehab code-compliant accessory dwelling units (ADUs). The program page says it supports added housing on existing residential properties, including attached units such as basement apartments and detached units such as garage conversions or cottages.

What the money covers

The official county page says the program funds construction or rehabilitation of code-compliant ADUs. The county’s press release says the program is meant to help homeowners finance, design, and permit ADUs and that the county also supported permit-ready construction documents for free use by homeowners for detached ADUs through a design competition.

Amounts and matching

• The current Participate Ulster page says grants of up to $112,500.
• A 2023 county press release described the original round as up to $125,000.
• The source reviewed does not state a match requirement.

How to apply

The county’s program page is the official participation portal. The page indicates the program has had application rounds and eligibility information, but the reviewed material does not provide a currently open application deadline in the extracted source text.

Timing and deadlines

The county originally launched the program in Fall 2023 and later received additional state funding in 2024 to continue it. The reviewed page does not show a current close date in the source text extracted here.
