AI Summary

This bill further defines the purposes of the affordable housing trust in the city of Somerville. Specifically, it allows the trust to fund housing-related social service programs, such as landlord-tenant mediation, legal services for tenants, case management, homelessness prevention, and housing counseling. The bill also permits the trust to fund start-up costs for new affordable housing production initiatives, even if the social service programs do not directly add a housing unit to the city's affordable housing stock.
