AI Summary

This bill establishes the Affordable Multifamily Rental Housing Stabilization Program within the Department of Housing and Community Development to provide financial assistance, in the form of low- or no-interest loans or grants, to owners of certain affordable rental housing properties that have at least 15 units for low-income households and are already in the Department's loan portfolio, for emergency or urgent capital repairs when the owner lacks sufficient funds.
