Bill Summary

This bill would establish the maximum percentage of a municipality's affordable fair share housing obligation which may be met by age-restricted units in a municipality at 50 percent. The Council on Affordable Housing adopted its third-round regulations, since partially invalidated by the courts, that reduced the percentage from 50 percent to 25 percent.

AI Summary

This bill would allow municipalities to satisfy up to 50 percent of their affordable fair share housing obligation, which refers to the requirement for towns to provide a certain number of affordable housing units, with age-restricted housing, meaning housing specifically for older adults. This change reverses a previous reduction by the Council on Affordable Housing, an agency responsible for overseeing affordable housing regulations, which had lowered this percentage to 25 percent after court challenges to its rules.
