The ADU landscape in Massachusetts has changed quickly, and a new wave of tools and resources is helping homeowners move from an initial idea toward construction.

Join Talitha Abramsen of the Pioneer Valley ADU Accelerator for a practical walkthrough of a free resource center created for Massachusetts homeowners, building professionals, and advocates. You’ll also hear from Accelerator-vetted professionals about what affordable, all-electric ADU construction looks like on the ground today.

What We’ll Cover

  • Toolkit: Use the site’s mapping and design features to look up your address, explore what may fit on your lot, and identify next steps.

  • Costs and Financing: Explore tools for estimating project budgets and understanding available financing options, including MassHousing resources.

  • ADU Professional Panel: Hear perspectives on modular and panelized construction, timelines, costs, and what homeowners should expect.

  • Live Q&A: Get your questions answered by ADU professionals and the Accelerator team.

The Pioneer Valley ADU Accelerator is a regional pilot program supported by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center. It is focused on making ADU construction more affordable, accessible, and replicable across Massachusetts.
