AI Summary
This bill further defines the purposes of the affordable housing trust in the city of Somerville. The bill allows the trust to fund housing-related social service programs, such as landlord-tenant mediation, legal services for tenants, case management, homelessness prevention, and housing counseling. It also allows the trust to fund start-up costs for new affordable housing production initiatives. These social service programs do not need to be associated with a physical asset consisting of housing for income-eligible households, nor do they need to add a housing unit to the municipality's affordable housing stock.
