A.

The proposed housing development must consist of living accommodations for persons and families. Nursing homes, board and care facilities, and supervised living facilities licensed by the Department of Health or a delegated local department of health are not eligible housing developments, nor are properties where all residents require an individual 24-hour plan for supervision, medical, or health care.
