Housing Choice Act proposes land-use strategies for municipalities to qualify for priority water infrastructure funding.

The Housing Choice Act proposes land-use strategies for municipalities to qualify for priority water infrastructure funding. Municipalities with less than 100,000 residents can adopt provisions like allowing multifamily residential dwellings in single-family zones and eliminating height restrictions in transit-oriented districts. Larger municipalities must adopt more provisions, including establishing a minimum density and allowing accessory dwelling units. The act also mandates the Legislative Research Commission to study housing needs and report findings by the 2026 Regular Session.
