An Act facilitating the appropriation and expenditure of community preservation funds for community housing purposes in the town of Chatham

This bill allows the town of Chatham to use its community preservation funds for housing projects targeting residents earning under 200% of the area median income - expanding eligibility beyond the standard definition in Massachusetts law. It requires approval from Chatham’s community preservation committee for any such spending. The policy directly affects low-to-moderate income families in Chatham seeking affordable housing through the town’s community preservation program.
