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

SCR 79 proposes a constitutional amendment to change how New Jersey municipalities calculate their affordable housing obligations. Currently, these obligations are based on regional housing needs; the amendment would require the Legislature to establish a single statewide calculation for all affordable housing units needed across the entire state. This would eliminate regional distinctions, making the statewide total the exclusive obligation mandated by the Constitution. The change would directly affect all municipalities, shifting their housing requirements from localized regional targets to a unified state-level standard. The amendment must be approved by voters after legislative passage.
