An Act relative to tax credits for homeless veteran housing
This bill directs the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development to reserve at least 10% of its tax credits for specific projects aiding homeless veterans. It requires that these reserved credits be used for nonprofit-sponsored developments that offer permanent housing with support services in buildings containing at least 20 units. The legislation directly affects the state's housing funding allocation process and nonprofit organizations seeking to build veteran housing. By mandating this set-aside, the bill ensures a dedicated portion of available tax incentives is available for this specific population.
