Establishes an affordable independent senior housing assistance program

The bill was amended to add a new sponsor (Senator Jackson) and update the procedural history to reflect committee reports and amendments.

The agency responsible for administering the grants changed from the commissioner of health to the division of housing and community renewal.

Administrative funding rules were updated to allow up to ten percent of appropriated funds to be used by the commissioner for program administration.

The definition of an eligible property was broadened from 'apartment buildings or apartment complexes' to 'any residential project' that meets specific affordability and income requirements.
