Bill Summary
Relative to the pooling of housing inventories by cities, towns and regional school districts for the purposes of calculating percentages of restricted low or moderate income housing. Housing.
AI Summary
This bill amends the definition of "Consistent with local needs" in the Massachusetts Chapter 40B housing law. It allows cities and towns that are part of a regional school district to pool their low or moderate-income housing units to calculate the 10% threshold for Chapter 40B purposes, rather than just considering the individual city or town's housing units. The bill also provides exceptions to the 10% threshold when housing would be built on a significant portion of a city or town's land area. The overall goal is to provide more flexibility and opportunities for cities, towns, and regional school districts to meet their affordable housing requirements under Chapter 40B.
