AI Summary

This bill aims to expand the definition of affordable housing to include manufactured homes in manufactured housing communities. Specifically, it allows municipalities to count existing manufactured homes constructed and inhabited before January 1, 2018 towards their low and moderate-income housing units at a rate of 0.5 units per manufactured home. For manufactured homes constructed or inhabited on or after January 1, 2018, they can be counted at the same 0.5 units per home rate, but only for every 1 unit of other new low and moderate-income housing that is counted towards the municipality's total. This change is intended to provide more options for municipalities to meet their affordable housing requirements.
