EAST PROVIDENCE, RI – The City of East Providence Administration is taking a proactive approach to affordable and fully accessible housing.

The City is proposing changes to its current Zoning Ordinance, which will create a requirement that any future development of 10 housing units or more includes 20 percent deed-restricted, affordable and fully accessible housing.

While the city’s Waterfront District has had an inclusionary zoning ordinance that requires 10 percent of affordable housing, the administration is seeking to expand it to 20 percent citywide.
