"Closing the Segregated Housing Loophole Act"; prohibits segregation in affordable housing inclusionary developments.

This bill prohibits segregation in new housing developments that include both market-rate and affordable units. It specifically bans developers from creating separate entrances, amenities, or physical features that divide residents based on income or protected characteristics like race. Municipalities and zoning officers must reject development plans violating this rule, and segregated units won’t count toward a town’s affordable housing requirement. Residents can file complaints with the Department of Community Affairs if segregation occurs, triggering investigations and required corrections. The law takes effect 10 months after enactment.
