New Jersey S1948 prohibits exemptions for urban aid municipalities from affordable housing obligations.
New Jersey S1948 amends the "Fair Housing Act" to ensure urban aid municipalities contribute to the regional need for affordable housing. Previously, these municipalities were exempt from contributing to a region's affordable housing needs, which placed undue burdens on other municipalities. This bill mandates that urban municipalities, those eligible for the Municipal (Urban) Aid Program, must allocate a fair share of affordable housing units. This change aims to balance development, minimize urban sprawl, and direct growth to areas with existing infrastructure.
