AI Summary

This bill aims to address the shortage of affordable, high-quality housing in Massachusetts, particularly in Eastern Massachusetts, by authorizing the Department of Communities and Development to create "Community Housing Packages" (CHPs). These CHPs will be part of a comprehensive state planning and coordination process, and will include regulations to provide for safe, durable, and energy-efficient housing units that reflect state-of-the-art standards. The bill also requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to establish and maintain a list of pre-screened, neighborhood and community-friendly developers and contractors to be used in these CHP projects. Additionally, the CHPs will consider relevant regional transit options to support local economic development.
