AN ACT relating to affordable housing.

This bill would allow religious institutions to build affordable housing on their property without going through the standard local planning and zoning review process, as long as the local government approves the development. It changes existing land use rules specifically for faith-based organizations that want to add housing. This could make it faster and easier for churches, mosques, synagogues, and other religious groups to create affordable homes in their communities. Who it may affect: religious institutions looking to develop housing, local planning and zoning boards, and Kentuckians seeking affordable housing.
