AI Summary

This bill aims to expand the definition of affordable housing to include manufactured homes in manufactured housing communities. Specifically, it allows municipalities to count existing manufactured homes constructed and inhabited before January 1, 2018, as 0.5 units of low and moderate-income housing. For manufactured homes constructed or inhabited on or after January 1, 2018, they can be counted as 0.5 units of low and moderate-income housing for every 1 unit of other new low and moderate-income housing that is counted towards the municipality's total. This change is intended to recognize manufactured homes as a form of affordable housing and provide municipalities more flexibility in meeting their affordable housing targets.
