Senate Bill No. 1277 seeks to improve affordable housing options for disabled and elderly veterans by amending existing housing laws. The bill proposes to repeal and replace subsection (l) of section 8-30g and introduces a new category of housing units called "disabled veteran units." These units are specifically designated for veterans with a disability rating of at least thirty percent or those aged sixty-five and older, and they must be restricted to families with incomes at or below eighty percent of the median income. Municipalities will earn one and one-half housing unit-equivalent points for each of these designated units, which will help them qualify for a moratorium on affordable housing land use appeals. Additionally, the bill modifies the moratorium provisions, extending the duration for municipalities with a significant number of dwelling units that have previously qualified for a moratorium. It clarifies the application process for municipalities seeking a certificate of affordable housing project completion, including necessary documentation and public notice requirements. The bill also outlines criteria for awarding and deducting points related to affordable housing units, ensuring that newly constructed units and those under deed restrictions are incentivized, while penalizing municipalities for actions that remove units from the affordable housing count. The effective date for the bill is set for October 1, 2025.
