Bill > HB442

This bill creates the Affordable Housing Production Task Force (Task Force) to investigate and make recommendations to the Governor and the General Assembly on how the State and local governments can increase the production of affordable rental units and homes in Delaware. The Task Force will review best practices, zoning and permitting laws, residential housing construction industry practices, and other factors that limit the production of affordable housing in Delaware. The Task Force will be composed of 20 members, including legislators, state officials, and representatives from various stakeholder groups. The Task Force will create several subcommittees to focus on specific areas, such as regulatory and permitting, finance and development, construction, manufactured housing, and community focus groups. The Task Force will submit a final report with recommendations by March 1, 2025, and will expire on the date it submits the report unless its existence is continued by a subsequent act of the General Assembly.
