Bill Summary

This bill would require the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to collect information about State residents seeking affordable housing in the State and provide that information to the Council on Affordable Housing (COAH). The bill requires DCA to establish a program to collect information about where these State residents currently live and work, and where they would want to live if provided an affordable housing option. On an annual basis, DCA would prepare a report compiling all the information collected under this program from the prior year and would provide a copy of the report to COAH or its successor. This would help the agency in charge of assigning affordable housing obligations across the State ensure that affordable housing is developed in locations where there is a demand for it, and in sufficient amounts, based on actual expressed interest from those in need of affordable housing.
