AI Summary

This bill allows municipal housing agencies to enter into enforceable deed restriction agreements with small property owners (those with fewer than 10 units) as part of the approval process for zoning variances. The agreements would require the property owners to either make a payment into the municipality's affordable housing trust fund or create new affordable housing units that are subject to deed restrictions. The bill defines key terms like "affordable housing" and "deed restricted unit," and specifies that the municipality or a designated nonprofit organization will be responsible for monitoring and enforcing the affordable housing restrictions.
