Provides procedures for crediting certain dwellings used by agricultural workers in determination of municipality's fair share housing obligation.
This bill allows New Jersey municipalities to count certain dwellings used by agricultural workers toward their fair share housing obligation. Specifically, it permits municipalities to credit one housing unit for every existing or newly constructed dwelling on agricultural land that serves low- or moderate-income migrant or seasonal farm workers. To qualify, the dwelling must be exclusively for farm workers, meet income standards, and be on agricultural property. This change directly affects municipalities with agricultural land seeking to comply with state housing requirements. The policy modifies how housing obligations are calculated under existing law, focusing on crediting existing farm worker housing rather than requiring new construction.
