431 NJ Municipalities Met New Affordable Housing Deadline
According to The Gothamist, New Jersey’s Fair Share Housing Center reported on February 3rd that officials for 431 of the state’s 564 cities and towns filed resolutions committing to develop affordable housing over the next decade. Local officials had until Jan. 31 to either commit to a number of low-priced homes assigned to them in October by the state, or propose a new number that will be reviewed by the state over the next few months. Under state law, towns that did not meet the deadline could open themselves up to lawsuits from builders or developers that could force them to develop affordable housing in their town.
