Directs DCA to establish online database of affordable housing settlement agreements and other declaratory judgment actions.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to create a public online database tracking all affordable housing court settlements since 2015. It directly affects municipalities that have entered into these settlements to meet their regional affordable housing obligations under the Fair Housing Act. The database will include specific details like the number of affordable units (broken into categories like rehabilitation and gap need), rental vs. ownership ratios, affordable vs. market-rate unit counts, and payments made to groups like the Fair Share Housing Center. All data will be accessible to the public on the DCA website, enhancing transparency around how municipalities fulfill their housing obligations.
