Bill > H1091

This bill amends Chapter 40B of the Massachusetts General Laws, a statute that aims to increase the supply of affordable housing in the state, by adding a new section that includes manufactured homes, also known as mobile homes, in the definition of low or moderate income housing. This means that manufactured homes located in a manufactured housing community, which is a place where manufactured homes are rented or sold, will now count towards a city or town's quota of affordable housing units under sections 20 to 23 of Chapter 40B, thereby expanding the types of housing that qualify as affordable and potentially helping communities meet their affordable housing goals.
