AI Summary

This bill seeks to include manufactured homes in the definition of affordable housing under Massachusetts law. Specifically, it proposes to amend Chapter 40B of the Massachusetts General Laws to specify that all manufactured homes in a manufactured housing community located within a city or town shall be counted as low or moderate income housing for the purposes of the state's affordable housing requirements. This change would allow these types of housing units to be included in a city or town's count of affordable housing units, potentially increasing the available affordable housing options.
