California pays for smart building. We make sure you collect.
Utility rebates, heat-pump programs, battery incentives, ADU pathways, disaster-recovery funds - each with its own forms, waitlists, and fine print. On a D'Well project, finding and filing every program you qualify for is simply part of the service. And when a program is closed or waitlisted, we say so - before you plan around it.

Up to 12 months of mortgage payments, maximum $100,000 per household, paid directly to your lender with no repayment - for homes destroyed or made uninhabitable in declared disasters from January 2023 through the January 2025 firestorms. Expanded from the original 3-month benefit in February 2026.
The honest version → California Insurance Code 2051.5 / 2060 (SB 872)The ALE 36-month rule (your insurance clock, extended)
Not a rebate - a legal floor: for a covered loss tied to a declared state of emergency, additional living expenses (ALE) coverage runs no less than 24 months, and your insurer must extend to 36 months total when good-faith delays beyond your control (permit backlogs, material shortages, contractor unavailability) slow the rebuild. Further 6-month extensions are available for good cause.
The honest version → CalHFA (program closed)Is the $40,000 California ADU grant still available? (No - here's what exists instead)
The CalHFA ADU Grant (up to $40,000 for predevelopment costs) was fully allocated in December 2023. CalHFA states no new applications are being accepted and warns that anyone claiming they can still secure it may be running a scam. No new round has been announced as of our last check.
The honest version → Various PACE administrators (DFPI-licensed)PACE financing (why we usually advise against it)
Not a rebate - a financing product we flag: PACE assessments ride your property-tax bill, take super-priority over your mortgage, and federal regulators found PACE borrowers more likely to fall behind on their first mortgage. New federal ability-to-repay rules apply to residential PACE as of March 2026.
The honest version →Why you won't see every program listed here
Our internal catalog tracks more programs (currently 3) that we haven't yet re-verified against the administrator's current terms and funding balance. A program only earns a page after we confirm it directly - the same honesty we bring to your quote. Every listed amount shows its source and last-verified date.
