Establishes a statewide framework for affirmatively furthering fair housing in Massachusetts.
The bill amends Chapter 40A of the General Laws to create a statewide affirmatively furthering fair housing framework. It mandates that any person planning to construct a large-scale development, defined as a condominium association or apartment building with 35 or more residential units, must complete a fair housing assessment. This assessment must describe the projected impact of the development on fair housing, discrimination, and displacement, and how the development will minimize harm and promote fair housing.
