Rhode Island S2695 allows Johnston to count manufactured homes in age-restricted communities as half an affordable housing unit.

Rhode Island S2695 amends the Rhode Island Housing Resources Act of 1998 to allow the town of Johnston to receive a one-half credit for affordable housing units for manufactured homes in age-restricted communities. These manufactured homes must be located in communities requiring residents to be fifty-five years or older and must conform to the town's zoning laws and ordinances. The bill aims to address the housing needs of older citizens and ensure that manufactured homes in specific communities are counted towards affordable housing goals. This change takes effect upon passage.
