H 1510 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to provide tenant ownership in government assisted housing

This bill requires housing providers receiving specific government housing credits (under Chapters 62, 63, or 63) to establish ownership diversity goals matching the demographic makeup of their properties. It directly affects these housing entities by mandating they reflect local population diversity in their ownership structures. The key provision is the requirement for diversity goals, with the Department of Housing and Community Development tasked with creating implementation rules. The bill focuses on changing ownership practices for these government-assisted housing providers, not on tenant ownership rights.
