Introduced Text

Rhode Island S2894 allows Tiverton to count manufactured homes in age-restricted communities as half an affordable housing unit.

Rhode Island S2894 amends the Rhode Island Housing Resources Act of 1998 to allow the town of Tiverton to receive a one-half credit for affordable housing units for manufactured homes in age-restricted communities. This applies if the manufactured homes meet all zoning laws and ordinances of the town. The manufactured homes must be located in communities where residents are fifty-five years or older and comply with the town's zoning, land development, and subdivision ordinances. This change aims to assist Tiverton in meeting its affordable housing requirements.
