Bill overview
This bill aims to make it easier for cities and towns in Massachusetts to approve ‘inclusionary zoning’ policies. Inclusionary zoning requires developers to set aside a portion of new housing units as affordable for low- and moderate-income residents. The bill seeks to streamline the approval process for these types of developments, potentially increasing the availability of affordable housing options across the state. It follows a series of committee hearings and revisions to ensure its effectiveness.
