AFFORDABLE HOUSING ARTICLE
Clarifying Affordable Housing Requirements and the Role of the Council on Affordable Housing (COAH) - In an article published by The New Jersey Planner, I clear up a lot of the confusion around COAH and affordable housing requirements. CLICK HERE for more information.
Proposed Senate Bill No. 1 that will abolish COAH is pending. The proposed Bill does not remove each municipality's constitutional obligation to provide for a realistic opportunity to provide for affordable housing in their land devlopment ordinances.
