Bill > SCR160

This Concurrent Resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to change how affordable housing obligations are determined for municipalities in New Jersey. Currently, these obligations are often based on regional housing needs, meaning groups of towns are assigned a share of the affordable housing required. This amendment would instead mandate that the Legislature enact laws to calculate a single, Statewide affordable housing need, representing the total number of affordable housing units required for the entire state, and this Statewide calculation would then exclusively define the constitutional obligation for affordable housing.
