Introduced Text

Establishes a statewide housing policy simulator to model housing policy impacts in Massachusetts.

The bill proposes the creation of a housing policy simulator in Massachusetts. This simulator will model the impacts of existing and potential housing policies and conditions. It will incorporate factors such as municipal zoning ordinances, state and federal housing policies, census data, and real-time datasets. The simulator will be developed in partnership with academic institutions, development agencies, and community members. It may include a public-facing online portal for users to adjust assumptions and policy inputs.
