Bill > S597

This bill amends Section 20 of Chapter 40B of the Massachusetts General Laws, which deals with affordable housing. Specifically, it changes the definition of "low or moderate income housing" to include any housing that receives financial assistance from federal, state, or local government programs aimed at helping build housing for people with low or moderate incomes, regardless of whether it's built or managed by a public entity, a non-profit organization, or a limited-dividend company. This update clarifies which types of housing qualify for subsidies under this law.
