New Jersey A3825 amends affordable housing obligations for municipalities, crediting certain housing types more heavily.

New Jersey A3825 amends the state's affordable housing laws to adjust how municipalities are credited for fulfilling their fair share obligations. The Council on Affordable Housing (COAH) will now credit municipalities with units for certain types of housing, including community residences and special needs housing. Specifically, the bill provides that each bedroom in a community residence will count as one unit towards a municipality's obligation, and each unit of housing restricted for very low income households and each unit of special needs housing will count as two units.
