AI Summary

This bill aims to address the shortage of affordable and high-quality housing in Massachusetts, particularly in Eastern Massachusetts. It authorizes the Department of Communities and Development to create "Community Housing Packages" (CHPs) to help expand and strengthen local communities by encouraging the development of affordable, safe, and durable housing units. The CHPs will involve a comprehensive state planning and coordination process, including consultation with pre-screened, neighborhood and community-friendly developers and contractors who meet high-quality construction standards. The bill also requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to establish and maintain a list of these approved developers and contractors to promote their services.
