Reforms affordable housing procedures and repeals the Statewide Non-Residential Development Fee Act.
The bill reforms New Jersey's affordable housing laws by simplifying compliance with the Fair Housing Act (FHA). It dissolves the Council on Affordable Housing (COAH) and transfers its duties to the Department of Community Affairs (DCA). The bill establishes criteria for municipalities to be deemed "inclusionary," allowing them to satisfy affordable housing obligations through various means, including off-site construction and rehabilitation of existing units. It also repeals the Statewide Non-Residential Development Fee Act, which imposed a fee on non-residential construction.
