An Act relative to local public housing authorities

This bill modifies state law to allow local public housing authorities established under Chapter 121B to use community preservation funding for specific purposes. Currently, these funds cannot be used for maintenance, but the proposed change permits their use for extraordinary maintenance, equipment replacement, and building improvements. The legislation directly impacts housing authorities that manage public housing projects within Massachusetts. By clarifying the allowable uses of these funds, the bill aims to provide more flexibility for essential repairs and upgrades in public housing facilities.
