AI Summary

This bill authorizes municipalities in Massachusetts to protect low and moderate-income tenants and units of governmentally-involved housing. It defines "governmentally-involved housing" as residential projects constructed, rehabilitated, or assisted through various federal and state housing programs. The bill allows municipalities to regulate the eviction of tenants and the removal of these housing units from low-income use, and requires owners to seek and accept government housing resources to maximize long-term affordability. The bill also allows municipalities to establish local preferences, priorities, and income limits for admission to these housing units upon turnover, and grants them the authority to adopt necessary ordinances, by-laws, and regulations to effectuate the purposes of the bill.
