AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Section 21 of Chapter 40B of the Massachusetts General Laws to limit the density of affordable housing projects under the state's 40B program. The bill sets a maximum project density of 4 times the existing zoning density or 8 units per acre, whichever is greater. This limit can be waived if the applicant agrees to either a 10% cap on profits or donates an equivalent amount of money to the host community to be used for the construction of additional low- and moderate-income housing units.
