California set aside $50 million in the state budget for homeowners building backyard homes.
The cash plays a "vital," part of the state's ability to increase housing supply, one expert said.
The state is short 2 million homes, and many experts think ADUs can ease the issue.
California is planning to pay homeowners to build housing in their own backyards.
The California budget, signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in late June, includes a $50 million pot to incentivize more people to build accessory dwelling units, also called ADU.
It's a revival of a previous program — though that one had a $100 million budget — that distributed funds through 2022, which aimed to increase ADU construction amid a dire housing shortage in the state.
