An Act authorizing the Orleans affordable housing trust to provide for the creation and preservation of attainable housing

This bill amends the bylaws of the Orleans Affordable Housing Trust Fund to authorize the creation and preservation of "attainable housing." The legislation defines attainable housing as units available to households earning between 80% and 200% of the area median income, rather than restricting them solely to low- or moderate-income families. By updating the trust's governing rules, the bill expands the scope of properties the fund can support to include this broader income range. This change allows the Orleans town government to utilize the trust for a wider variety of housing options while maintaining specific income guidelines.
