Bill > ACR80

This Concurrent Resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to change how affordable housing obligations are determined for municipalities. Currently, these obligations are often based on regional housing needs, meaning groups of towns collectively determine how many affordable housing units are required. This amendment would instead mandate a Statewide calculation, meaning a single number representing the total affordable housing needed for the entire state would be determined. This Statewide need would then become the sole constitutional requirement for affordable housing, and the Legislature would be responsible for enacting laws to establish the process for this Statewide calculation, removing the current reliance on regional assessments.
