The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6123, aims to amend subsection (k) of section 8-30g of the general statutes to include workforce housing, regardless of deed restriction, in the calculation of the ten-percent threshold for exemption from the affordable housing appeals procedure. This change is intended to broaden the criteria for exemption, thereby recognizing workforce housing as a significant component of affordable housing initiatives.
The bill seeks to enhance the existing framework by ensuring that workforce housing is considered alongside other forms of affordable housing when determining eligibility for exemptions from the appeals process. This inclusion is expected to facilitate the development of workforce housing and support the overall goal of increasing affordable housing availability in the community. No deletions from current law are specified in the text provided.
