Bill Summary
Relative to local control over low and moderate income housing eligibility standards for affordable rental and purchase prices. Housing.
AI Summary
This bill aims to give local municipalities and regional planning councils more control over the income eligibility standards for affordable rental and purchase prices under the state's 40B housing law. It allows these entities to raise the upper area median income threshold for affordable housing eligibility up to 90% of the median income, and to increase the maximum percentage of household monthly income that can be spent on housing expenses from 30% to 35%. This provides local governments with more flexibility to determine affordable housing criteria that better reflect the specific needs and economic conditions of their communities.
