AI Summary
This bill requires the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development to promulgate regulations starting in 2023 that mandate any new construction or major rehabilitation project receiving Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) funding to earn green building certification, such as through the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) system or other equally rigorous standards. The bill also directs the Department to amend its Qualified Allocation Plan to reflect these requirements and to analyze and publicly report on the energy and water efficiency of LIHTC-funded housing, as well as provide information to applicants about available incentives and support for energy efficiency.
