A 215 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Authorizes municipalities that petition for or receive substantive certification pursuant to the "Fair Housing Act" to make certain affordable housing units available on a preferential basis to certain eligible persons.

This bill allows New Jersey municipalities with certified affordable housing plans under the Fair Housing Act to prioritize specific groups for certain affordable housing units. It authorizes municipalities to give priority to corporate employees for employer-sponsored housing, migrant workers for farm housing, and family members for accessory housing units - all meeting low/moderate income requirements. The bill also removes the need for "affirmative regional marketing" for these units, allowing them to count toward the municipality's housing obligation without additional outreach. This creates a streamlined process for targeting housing access to specific eligible residents.
