Bill > S2988

Introduced Session

In order to provide a centralized directory of affordable housing and senior citizen housing in New Jersey, this bill requires each county to submit information on a monthly basis to the Commissioner of Community Affairs concerning the affordable housing units and senior citizen housing units located within the county. Under the bill, the information would be published and updated on the Internet websites of the Department of Community Affairs (DCA), the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency (HMFA), and the New Jersey Housing Resource Center (HRC). Additionally, counties that maintain Internet websites would be required to provide links on their websites to the DCA, NJHMFA, and NJHRC so that county residents could access the compiled information. The bill requires the submitted information to be organized by municipality and to include: (1) the name and address of each building, complex, or development in which an affordable housing unit or senior citizen housing unit is located; (2) the name of the landlord, manager, or other person who manages or exercises authority over the property; (3) whether applications are being accepted; (4) whether there is a waitlist; (5) instructions on how to apply for tenancy in any of the identified housing units, including a link to apply online if applicable; and (6) any other information useful to the public as determined by the commissioner.
