An Act to promote housing cooperatives
This bill aims to support housing cooperatives by establishing a legislative framework to promote their development. It directly affects individuals and organizations seeking to create or manage community-owned housing units. The key provision involves authorizing a study to examine ways to encourage the growth of these cooperative housing models. Once the study is completed, the bill may lead to specific policies or funding mechanisms to assist residents in forming such groups.
