AI Summary

This bill authorizes the Massachusetts Department of Communities and Development to create "Community Housing Packages" (CHPs) to help expand and strengthen local communities, particularly by encouraging affordable, safe, and durable housing units. The CHPs will be part of a comprehensive state planning and coordination process, and will be based on encouraging mixed-use development and consulting a list of pre-screened, neighborhood and community-friendly developers and contractors with high-quality construction standards. The Department of Housing and Community Development will establish and annually renew a listing of such developers, and the CHPs will take into account relevant regional transit options to support local economic development.
