Requires DCA to collect information about State residents seeking affordable housing in State and provide that information to COAH.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to collect and share data on residents seeking affordable housing. DCA must create an online system for residents to submit where they currently live, work, and where they want affordable housing, and also gather similar data from housing agencies. Each year by January 31, DCA will compile this information into a municipal-level report and send it to the Council on Affordable Housing (COAH). This data will help COAH better understand actual demand for affordable housing across the state to guide housing allocation decisions. The bill directly affects residents seeking housing and the state agency responsible for assigning affordable housing obligations.
