- Establishes a process for determining and allocating affordable housing obligations based on factors such as population, employment, and land availability.
- Requires the state to provide financial and technical assistance to municipalities to help meet their affordable housing obligations.
Affected Parties and Impacts: The resolution would impact all municipalities in New Jersey, as well as the state government, by establishing a more comprehensive and equitable approach to affordable housing planning and development.
