Requires certain local government community benefit agreements dedicate resources for affordable housing purposes.
This bill requires New Jersey counties and municipalities to dedicate at least 50% of cash payments exceeding $100,000 received through community benefits agreements to affordable housing. Community benefits agreements are binding deals between local governments and developers, where developers pay for community benefits (like housing or infrastructure) in exchange for project approval. The bill defines "affordable housing" as creating or rehabilitating low- or moderate-income housing, as specified in existing law. It applies only to agreements involving significant cash payments, ensuring a substantial portion directly supports housing needs within the community.
