Requires COAH to credit municipalities with units against fair share affordable housing obligation for certain types of housing; provides certain types of affordable housing units will be credited as two units.

This bill (A4147) changes how New Jersey municipalities can count affordable housing units toward their fair share obligation under the state's affordable housing law. Municipalities would receive credit for one unit per bedroom in community residences (such as group homes, halfway houses, and supervised apartment living arrangements), and two units for each very low income housing unit or special needs housing project. These changes would make it easier for municipalities to meet their affordable housing requirements by counting certain housing types more favorably toward their quota. The bill directly affects municipalities that must comply with New Jersey's affordable housing obligations under the Fair Housing Act.
