Loading...
Summary
Committee members summarized numerous housing-related measures bundled in the 03/28 omnibus bill — including supported housing advisory language, modular housing nondiscrimination, special assessment bonds, and BHCB language tied to $10,000,000 — and discussed scheduling for further action.
Committee members reviewed the contents of an omnibus housing package listed as 03/28 and discussed next steps and scheduling during the April 23 meeting.
The chair provided a rundown of measures included in the package, saying it contains a wide range of housing-related items the committee had sent to the senate plus additional provisions. Items mentioned included: language on a supported housing advisory committee; a treasurer credit facility at 12.5 percent; an off-site accelerator program; changes to VIDA to allow housing activities; VHIP advance-funding authority; special assessment bonds; municipal planning requirements tied to housing strategy; nondiscrimination protections for modular and manufactured housing; reports on farmworker housing and institutional investors; and a reference to BHCB language involving a $10,000,000 rewrite.
Members said they would continue discussion of 03/28 after voting on S2:30; the chair noted that council review might provide additional information before further committee action. No formal decisions or votes on 03/28 were taken during this meeting.
Next steps: committee will reconvene after the floor session to vote on pending items and may resume extended consideration of 03/28 at that time.
