AI Summary

This bill proposes to allow municipalities to count manufactured housing units in manufactured housing communities as low or moderate income housing units when determining if they have exceeded the 10% requirement for such housing. Specifically, the bill states that each qualifying manufactured housing unit must have a fair cash value of no more than $100,000, be free of health code violations, and be affordable to a single-person household with an income of no more than 80% of the area median income, with the total cost of rent, financing, and utilities not exceeding 30% of that income. Additionally, the median income for the census tract where the manufactured housing community is located must be less than 80% of the area median income.
