AI Summary

This bill requires various state government offices, including the Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development, the Executive Office of Health and Human Services, the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development, the Executive Office of Education, and the Office of Administration and Finance, to develop and execute a memorandum of understanding called the "Housing Stability and Economic Mobility Memorandum of Understanding." The memorandum will establish monthly meetings of the secretaries of each office, require regular reports on the state's progress in providing affordable housing and services to low-income households, and create cross-agency teams to coordinate training, policies, and service delivery.
