The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6813, seeks to amend section 8-30g of the general statutes regarding the Affordable Housing Appeals Procedure. The bill introduces new provisions that allow municipalities to earn one housing unit-equivalent point for each elderly unit constructed, with a cap of twenty percent of the municipality's total housing unit-equivalent points. Additionally, municipalities can also receive one point for each three-bedroom dwelling unit, limited to a maximum of ten percent of their total housing unit-equivalent points.

This modification aims to incentivize the development of elderly housing and three-bedroom units, thereby promoting a more diverse housing stock within municipalities. The changes reflect a strategic approach to enhance affordable housing options while ensuring that municipalities are rewarded for their contributions to meeting housing needs.
