Authorizes COAH to credit municipalities with 1.5 units of fair share affordable housing obligation for each housing unit occupied by a veteran; permits municipalities to satisfy fair share affordable housing obligation through 35 percent set aside for veterans.

This bill amends New Jersey's affordable housing law to provide municipalities with additional flexibility in meeting their fair share housing obligations. Specifically, it allows municipalities to count each housing unit occupied by a veteran (with active wartime service) as 1.5 units toward their requirement, instead of the standard 1 unit. It also permits municipalities to satisfy up to 35% of their affordable housing obligation by setting aside units specifically for veterans. The bill directly affects New Jersey municipalities required to provide affordable housing for low- and moderate-income households under state law.
