Bill > SCR148

This Concurrent Resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to change how affordable housing obligations are determined for municipalities. Currently, these obligations are often based on regional housing needs, meaning groups of towns are assigned a share of the affordable housing target. This amendment would require the State Legislature to establish a process for calculating a single, Statewide affordable housing need, meaning the total number of affordable housing units required for the entire state would be determined collectively, rather than through regional allocations. This Statewide calculation would then represent the exclusive constitutional obligation for affordable housing.
