An Act relative to the Affordable Homes Act
This bill establishes a funding program to rehabilitate public housing, preserve affordable units, and support home ownership for low- and moderate-income residents. It allocates $50 million to build facilities for early childhood education and out-of-school programs, while directing $60 million toward loans and grants for home modifications that improve accessibility for people with disabilities and seniors. The legislation also provides financial assistance for constructing supportive housing for individuals with mental illness and intellectual disabilities, with specific requirements for energy efficiency and sustainability in new construction projects.
