Bill Summary
For legislation relative to affordable housing. Housing.
AI Summary
This bill aims to amend the existing affordable housing law in Massachusetts (Chapter 40B) in several key ways. Firstly, it expands the definition of the affordable housing approval process to include sections 21 to 23B, rather than just 21 to 23. Secondly, it allows a board of appeals to issue a notice of proposed "smart growth zoning district" adoption, which would prevent an appeal to the housing appeals committee if the city or town submits an application for a smart growth zoning district within 180 days. Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to develop an educational program to inform cities and towns about the benefits and process of adopting a smart growth zoning district under Chapter 40R, in order to facilitate more affordable housing development.
