Bill Summary
This bill would revise the "Fair Housing Act," P.L.1985, c.222 (C.52:27D-301 et al.), to prohibit any categorical affordable housing obligation exemption for municipalities that are eligible for the Municipal (Urban) Aid Program. Prior rules of the Council on Affordable Housing excluded these municipalities from providing any contribution toward a region's affordable housing need. Those exemptions, however, can lead to undue development burdens on the other municipalities in the region. Additionally, directing more affordable housing development to urban municipalities would help minimize urban sprawl and would direct development to areas that already have extensive infrastructure in place, allowing for more cost-effective accommodation of new development.
AI Summary
This bill would prohibit any categorical affordable housing obligation exemption for municipalities that are eligible for the Municipal (Urban) Aid Program. Previously, these urban municipalities were excluded from providing any contribution toward a region's affordable housing need, but this bill seeks to direct more affordable housing development to these urban areas to minimize urban sprawl and maximize cost-effective accommodation of new development. The bill aims to ensure that urban municipalities allocate a minimum fair share of the regional need for low and moderate income housing.
