Habitat for Humanity is the contractor for all the ADUs built through the program. Along with a guaranteed contractor, applicants receive help with technical details, such as permitting and referrals for funding. The WDSF+ ADU pilot is open to households of all income levels, but those who make 81 percent or more of Denver’s Area Median Income must agree that they will rent it to someone who earns 80 percent or less of Denver’s AMI for the first 25 years of the structure’s existence.
In 2021 — the first year ADUs were built through the pilot — all homeowners selected FirstBank for their loans, per the report. The program wound up saving people an average of $50,000 to $75,000 compared to market-rate ADU construction.
