Bill Summary
This bill would permit a municipality to obtain one unit of credit against its fair share affordable housing obligation for each resident of an alternative living arrangement. The bill defines an alternative living arrangement as a structure in which residents share kitchen and plumbing facilities, central heat, and common areas. Alternative living arrangements would include, but would not be limited to: transitional facilities for the homeless, boarding homes; residential health care facilities; group homes for the developmentally disabled and mentally; and congregate living arrangements. Controls on affordability on alternative living arrangements would be required to remain in effect for at least 10 years.
AI Summary
This bill allows a municipality to count each resident living in an "alternative living arrangement" towards its "fair share affordable housing obligation," which refers to a municipality's responsibility to provide a certain number of affordable housing units. An alternative living arrangement is defined as a place where residents share common facilities like kitchens, bathrooms, heating, and general living spaces, and this can include various types of housing such as shelters for the homeless, boarding homes, residential health care facilities, group homes for individuals with developmental disabilities or mental illness, and other shared living situations. To qualify for this credit, any affordability restrictions on these alternative living arrangements must be maintained for a minimum of 10 years.
