Rhode Island S2917 allows Smithfield to count manufactured homes in age-restricted communities as half an affordable housing unit.

Rhode Island S2917 amends the Rhode Island Housing Resources Act of 1998 to allow the town of Smithfield 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 at least fifty-five years old and must comply with the town's zoning laws and ordinances. This change aims to support the development of affordable housing in specific communities within Smithfield. The act takes effect upon passage.
