AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 40B of the General Laws, which is a Massachusetts law designed to encourage the development of affordable housing, by expanding the definition of what counts as "low and moderate income housing." Specifically, it adds mobile homes, group homes, manufactured homes, in-law apartments (also known as accessory dwelling units or ADUs), and certain religious retirement homes to the types of housing that can be included when calculating whether a community is meeting its affordable housing goals. This change aims to broaden the scope of housing options that contribute to meeting these important affordability targets.
