Bill Summary

For legislation relative to reforming the housing development incentive program. Housing.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to reform the housing development incentive program in Massachusetts. It would require that at least 20% of the housing units in a development be affordable, either as rental units for those earning up to 50% of the area median income or as owner-occupied units for those earning up to 80% of the area median income. The bill also amends existing law to add references to "affordable" units alongside "market rate" units in several sections of the housing development incentive program.
