Bill Summary
For legislation relative to affordable housing use restrictions
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 21 of Chapter 40B of the Massachusetts General Laws, which pertains to affordable housing. The key provision requires that all housing units built under a comprehensive permit, a streamlined approval process for affordable housing projects, must have a use restriction that lasts forever, meaning it applies in perpetuity. However, local boards are given the authority to waive this perpetual restriction, but only if they replace it with a new use restriction that is in effect for at least 30 years. This change aims to ensure long-term affordability for these housing units.
