Funding
Housing Element Reform
Promoting Housing Generally
Affordable Housing Specific
Minor Edits
“Is there any
legislation about
funding”
“There are three potential
sources of revenue – a
bond, eliminating the
second home mortgage
deduction or a document
recording fee. It could be
big money, but we’ve
heard that before”
“I heard the
State might
make some
changes in
Housing Element
Law”
“They continue to add
teeth to Housing Elements,
specifically if you don’t
meet your RHNA. In
particular, developments
might qualify for ministerial
approval. They also are
proposing making it harder
to count some housing
sites in the inventory,
particularly small sites.”
“I heard the
governor is
serious about
promoting new
housing”
“There is a bill to make it
harder to reject housing
projects by referendum
and one to expand the
Housing Accountability Act
to moderate income
developments. Also, there
is the bill that allows by
right development if a city
doesn’t meet it’s RHNA.”
“What’s going
on with
affordable
housing”
“A bunch of things could be
happening here. So big, it didn’t fit
in this bubble. There is a bill that
says inclusionary units do not qualify
for density bonuses and the ever
elusive Palmer fix. They might drop
the bond threshold to 55% for
affordable housing and
infrastructure bonds. There could
be a big change that establishes
Massachusetts style affordable
housing review boards. Also, there
could big consequences if
jurisdictions do not do annual
mitigation fee act reports.
• Funding – “There are three potential sources of revenue – a bond,
eliminating the second home mortgage deduction or a document
recording fee. Any one of the bills would contribute hundreds of
millions of dollars.”
• Housing Element Reform – “They continue to add teeth to Housing
Elements, specifically if you don’t meet your RHNA. In particular,
developments might qualify for ministerial approval. They also are
proposing making it harder to count some housing sites in the
inventory, particularly small sites.”
• Promoting Housing Generally – “There is a bill to make it harder to
reject housing projects by referendum and one to expand the
Housing Accountability Act to moderate income developments. See
above as well. ”
• Affordable Housing Specific – “There is a bill that says inclusionary
units do not qualify for density bonuses and the ever elusive Palmer
fix. They might drop the bond threshold to 55% for affordable housing
and infrastructure bonds. There could be a big change that
establishes Massachusetts style affordable housing review boards.
Also, there could big consequences if jurisdictions do not do annual
