The Farmhouse-to-Workforce Housing Act of 2024

This bill creates federal grants to help homeowners build or add secondary living spaces (accessory dwelling units, or ADUs) to existing single-family homes. It directly affects homeowners with properties at least 25 years old, requiring them to live in the main home or an ADU for 5 years (or until death) and limiting household income to 150% of local median income. Grants cover up to 50% of an ADU's cost, capped at $100,000 (adjusted for inflation), with a total $200 million in funding authorized. The bill prohibits using funds for property purchases, political activities, or short-term leases under six months.
