Increases maximum municipal percentage of affordable fair share housing satisfied by age-restricted units to 50 percent.
This bill increases the maximum percentage of a municipality's affordable housing obligation that can be met with age-restricted units (housing for older residents) from 25% to 50%. It directly affects New Jersey municipalities required to provide affordable housing under state law. The key provision reverses a previous regulation that reduced the allowable percentage to 25%, restoring the prior 50% cap. The change takes effect immediately upon enactment.
