The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) has announced a $750,000 investment in BuildCasa, a startup focused on creating affordable housing through accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in backyard spaces. This funding is part of CZI's Affordable Starter Home Initiative, aimed at making housing more accessible for those facing economic difficulties. By utilizing California law SB 9, BuildCasa enables homeowners to sell land to developers, who can add housing units efficiently without public funding. This strategy aims to increase housing density in existing neighborhoods while providing affordable options for low-income residents.
The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative's investment in BuildCasa aims to increase affordable housing through accessory dwelling units in existing communities, enabling homeownership for those economically marginalized.
CZI's funding supports building eight housing units under a model that connects landowners with developers to create affordable options in high-opportunity areas without public subsidies.
