Bill Summary

This bill would change the calculation of affordable housing obligations to a Statewide perspective rather than a local level. In addition, under the bill, the Council on Affordable Housing would submit a report every five years on housing affordability. The report would calculate the ratio of the median cost, including property taxes, mortgage rates and payments, insurance, cost of utilities, and other necessary factors in the discretion of the council, to maintain the home to the median income for the State. This report would be used to update the growth-share calculation each time the council issues a report.

AI Summary

This bill would change the calculation of affordable housing obligations to a Statewide perspective rather than a local level. The Council on Affordable Housing (COAH) would be required to calculate the ratio of median home maintenance cost to median income for the State every five years and use this to update the Statewide growth-share calculation method. This report would replace the previous municipal-level fair share calculation and adjustment process.
