COAH Third Round: Hill Wallack LLP Calculates Fair Share Housing Obligations for New Jersey Towns under Regulations Adopted May 6, 2008, and under Possible Changes in Housing Obligations Pursuant to COAH’s Proposed Amendments
Filling an important gap in public information, Hill Wallack LLP has calculated the fair share obligation for each town in New Jersey established by the so-called “third round” regulations adopted by the New Jersey Council on Affordable Housing (COAH) on May 6, 2008.
COAH’s May 6, 2008 regulations provide data pursuant to which one can calculate COAH’s new affordable housing obligations for each town for the period 2004 to 2018. However, COAH has not made public the actual numbers assigned to each town. Hill Wallack LLP has calculated the fair share obligation for each town under these legally binding regulations. The linked chart shows the housing obligation for each town under the adopted regulations. http://www.hillwallack.com/webcontent/PDF/1748534.pdf
COAH also proposed substantial rule amendments to its regulations on May 6, 2008 that, if adopted, would alter the municipal housing obligations yet again. Similarly, those amendments provide data pursuant to which one can calculate the affordable housing obligations for each town if those rule amendments are adopted, but COAH has not made public the actual numbers that would be assigned to each town pursuant to those proposed rule amendments. To fill this gap, Hill Wallack LLP has also calculated the fair share housing obligations for each town for the period 2004 to 2018 under the proposed rule amendments. http://www.hillwallack.com/web-content/PDF/1747802.pdf
