Considering an Accessory Dwelling Unit for your property? This virtual workshop covers everything from Dover-area zoning and permitting to design considerations, budgeting, and the benefits of ADUs for multi-generational living or income generation.

Are you a municipal leader, housing authority professional, or non-profit developer in Massachusetts seeking to advance local housing initiatives?

Join Bailow Architects for a comprehensive workshop designed to demystify state funding opportunities through the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities (EOHLC). In the wake of the transformative Affordable Homes Act (Chapter 150 of the Acts of 2024), communities have new pathways to create much-needed housing, including accessible units for "Aging in Place" and innovative Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs).

This workshop will provide a clear overview of key EOHLC grant programs available to communities, such as the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Capital Improvement and Preservation Fund (CIPF), and the Affordable Housing Trust Fund (AHTF). We'll explain how these programs work, what types of projects are eligible, and—most importantly—how strong architectural design is crucial for developing competitive proposals.

Key Takeaways:

• Navigate the EOHLC Landscape: Understand the purpose and target projects of major state housing grants.

• The Power of Design in Grant Applications: Learn how compelling architectural concepts, visuals, and detailed planning can significantly strengthen your community's funding applications.

• Leverage "Aging in Place" & ADU Expertise: Discover how incorporating universal design principles and ADU strategies can align with state priorities and enhance project eligibility.

• Strategic Partnerships: Explore how collaborating with an experienced architectural firm can streamline the grant process and ensure successful project execution.

Don't miss this opportunity to gain critical insights and build a roadmap for securing state funds to address your community's housing needs. Bailow Architects is committed to partnering with you to design a more livable and inclusive Massachusetts.
