Expands access to inherently affordable housing by re-legalizing co-living/single-room occupancy (SRO) and shared dwelling models.

The Restoring Options in Occupancy Models (ROOM) Act expands access to inherently affordable housing by re-legalizing co-living/single-room occupancy (SRO) and shared dwelling models of many types. The act would restore choice in housing options long constrained by exclusionary zoning, outdated building codes, and discriminatory occupancy rules. The act would allow co-living properties as a permitted use by right on each parcel that is zoned for single family, multifamily, commercial, or mixed use, or in any area where residential use is permitted.
