State Assembly Passes Bill to Make Changes to Affordable Housing
New Jersey lawmakers have advanced legislation (A-4) they say would lead towns to take a more creative approach to solving the state's shortage of affordable housing.

The next step is for the bill to go to the Senate. Learn more about the bill.
