An Act creating the Massachusetts healthy homes program

This bill creates the Massachusetts Healthy Homes Program to help property owners address health and safety issues in their residential buildings. It directly affects owner-occupants and landlords who own properties with problems such as mold, lead, pests, or conditions that block energy efficiency upgrades. The program would allow eligible applicants to receive financial assistance for necessary repairs, with specific income limits and property size definitions determining who qualifies. By amending existing housing laws, the legislation establishes a formal framework for distributing funds to improve living conditions and reduce utility costs for residents.
