An Act ensuring affordability in perpetuity

This bill amends Massachusetts law to require all low and moderate income housing built under a comprehensive permit to remain affordable forever. It directly affects developers and housing authorities by mandating that these specific properties cannot be sold or converted to market-rate units at any point in the future. The legislation establishes a permanent legal barrier to ensure that affordable housing units created through this specific permitting process stay accessible to qualifying residents indefinitely. The changes would take effect on July 1, 2024.
