The bill amends Section 42-128-8.1 of the Rhode Island Housing Resources Act, introducing provisions specific to the town of Tiverton. It allows manufactured homes located in age-restricted communities, where residents must be fifty-five (55) years or older, to be credited as one-half (1/2) of an affordable housing unit. This credit is contingent upon compliance with the town's zoning, land development, and subdivision ordinances, as well as annual licensing by the town. The act aims to enhance Tiverton's affordable housing inventory while ensuring adherence to local regulations. The bill will take effect upon passage.
