Expands eligibility for affordable housing inventory in Massachusetts to include households living in manufactured homes.

This bill allows municipalities to include 50% of households living in manufactured homes in their affordable housing inventory, regardless of income. The chief executive officer of a municipality must submit these households for inclusion in the affordable housing plan, along with necessary documentation. The secretary of housing and community development will then include these households in the total number of eligible units for certification. The bill defines "manufactured home" as a structure built to specific safety standards, transportable, and equipped with utilities and systems.
