Requires affordable housing obligations of municipalities to be based on Statewide need.

This bill requires that affordable housing obligations for municipalities in New Jersey be calculated based on statewide housing needs rather than local needs. It amends existing state laws to redefine key terms like "housing region" to mean the entire state and establishes new definitions for income levels and housing types. The legislation also updates how prospective housing needs are projected, tying future obligations to statewide methodology instead of regional assessments. These changes directly affect local governments, developers, and housing agencies involved in affordable housing planning and construction.
