AI Summary

This bill expands the definition of affordable housing to include 50% of the homes in a manufactured housing community. Manufactured housing communities, as defined in Chapter 140, Section 32Q of the General Laws, will now be counted towards a city or town's affordable housing threshold as documented on the subsidized housing inventory maintained by the Department of Housing and Community Development. This change aims to recognize manufactured homes as a form of affordable housing and include them in the state's affordable housing calculations.
