An Act relative to attainable housing in seasonal communities
This bill aims to increase affordable housing options in seasonal communities and specific areas of Massachusetts by allowing certain projects to count toward local subsidized housing goals. It permits municipalities to use unused open space or historic preservation funds for housing projects and officially defines "tiny houses" as year-round dwellings under 600 square feet that can be built as accessory units. Additionally, the legislation allows cities to offer property tax exemptions for year-round rental units and enables long-term financing agreements between developers and school districts to create affordable housing for employees.
