Bill Summary

Relative to establishing income reviews for residents of affordable housing. Housing.

AI Summary

This bill aims to establish income reviews for residents of affordable housing in Massachusetts. It proposes to amend the state's affordable housing laws (Chapter 40B) to require residents of restricted low or moderate-income housing to provide proof of their eligibility to reside in such housing every 5 years. Those found ineligible would then be subject to the normal local property tax assessment, rather than the discounted rate allowed for affordable housing.
