The Nonprofit Senior Bill
Nonprofit senior housing would have to prove it helps people
Relative to eligibility requirements for charitable and nonprofit housing projects.
Good for everyday people ·
This bill would require nonprofit senior housing and healthcare facilities to prove they help low-income people before they can get a property tax break.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Right now, some facilities call themselves nonprofits to skip out on paying property taxes, even if they mostly serve people who can pay full price. This bill would crack down on that by forcing them to accept Medicaid, offer reduced fees to at least 20 percent of their residents, and prove they are actually relieving a burden on the public. It is a smart way to make sure tax breaks only go to places that truly help everyday people.
