Overview
This bill aims to address housing affordability issues in New Jersey by prohibiting a legal tool called the ‘builder’s remedy’ in cases of exclusionary zoning. The builder’s remedy allows courts to force municipalities to include market-rate housing in developments to encourage affordable housing. The bill argues this approach has been ineffective and detrimental, leading to more market-rate housing and less affordable housing. Instead, if a court finds a municipality hasn’t met its affordable housing obligations, it can impose alternative remedies other than the builder’s remedy.
