H1556

To improve the accuracy of the counting of existing affordable housing stock

Introduced·2/27/25
Introduced Text

Massachusetts H1556 aims to enhance the accuracy of affordable housing stock counts by expanding the definition to include manufactured homes.

Massachusetts H1556 seeks to improve the accuracy of the counting of existing affordable housing stock by amending the definition of "Low or moderate income housing" to include manufactured homes. This change ensures that 50 percent of homes in a manufactured housing community are included in the subsidized housing inventory maintained by the executive office of housing and livable communities. The bill aims to provide a more comprehensive count of affordable housing, thereby better reflecting the actual housing stock available to low and moderate-income residents.
