An Act separating non-elderly handicapped/disabled housing from elderly housing

This bill proposes to amend Massachusetts law to require that non-elderly individuals with disabilities, including those with addiction or mental health issues, live in separate housing facilities from elderly residents in assisted living settings. The legislation directly affects assisted living facilities by mandating a physical separation between these two distinct groups of people. By adding this specific requirement to Chapter 19D of the General Laws, the bill aims to change how housing is organized for people with disabilities and seniors.
