Directs DCA to establish online database of affordable housing settlement agreements and other declaratory judgment actions.
This bill directs New Jersey's Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to create a public online database tracking affordable housing settlement agreements between municipalities and housing advocates since 2015. The database will include specific data on each municipality’s affordable housing obligations (like unit counts by rental/ownership type), ratios of affordable to market-rate units, and payments made to groups like the Fair Share Housing Center. It directly affects all New Jersey municipalities that resolved housing compliance through court agreements under the state’s Fair Housing Act. The DCA must collect this information from courts and municipalities upon request, making it accessible to the public on its website. The goal is to increase transparency around how municipalities meet their statewide affordable housing requirements.
