Bill Summary
This bill amends the Fair Housing Act to re-authorize the use of regional contribution agreements by municipalities to meet affordable housing needs. Since July 17, 2008, the effective date of P.L.2008, c.46, municipalities have been prohibited from using regional contribution agreements to address fair share housing obligations. This bill would re-authorize a municipality to propose transferring up to 50% of its fair share housing obligation to another municipality within its housing region through a regional contribution agreement. This matches the portion of a fair share housing obligation that had been transferrable prior to 2008.
