Bill > H1360

This bill seeks to restore and regulate governmentally-involved housing in the city of Boston. It defines "governmentally-involved housing" as housing units that are insured, owned, operated, financed, or subsidized by the federal or state government and subject to rent regulation. The bill allows the City of Boston to regulate the rents for this type of housing, even after federal or state rent regulation ends, to maintain affordability and prevent displacement of low-income residents. It also imposes restrictions on the eviction of tenants and the removal of these units from low-income housing use. The bill grants the City authority to establish local preferences, priorities, and income limits for these housing units and empowers an official body to enforce the provisions of the bill.
