H 1324 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to provide tenant ownership in government assisted housing

This bill requires developers receiving specific government tax credits for affordable housing to create diversity goals that match the local population demographics. It directly affects entities building government-assisted housing projects by mandating they plan for ownership structures that reflect the community they serve. The legislation also instructs the Department of Housing and Community Development to create rules for enforcing these diversity requirements. By tying tax incentives to these planning goals, the bill aims to ensure that future housing ownership aligns with the needs of the surrounding neighborhood.
