Proposes constitutional amendment to require Statewide calculation of affordable housing obligation.

SCR 51 proposes a constitutional amendment to change how New Jersey municipalities determine their affordable housing requirements. Currently, these obligations are based on regional housing needs, but the amendment would require the Legislature to calculate a single statewide number representing the total affordable housing needed for the entire state. This statewide figure would become the exclusive requirement under the Constitution, replacing the current regional approach. The amendment must be approved by voters in the next general election after legislative passage.
