The report outlines DCA’s fourth round (2025-2035) fair share methodology and calculations of low- and moderate-income housing obligations for New Jersey’s 564 municipalities. The report and calculation were prepared by the Offices of Policy and External Affairs and Local Planning Services in the Department of Community Affairs. The report explains how DCA calculated the Present Need and Prospective Need obligations for the fourth round in line with the formulas and criteria outlined in P.L.2024, c.2 (the Affordable Housing Law). Moreover, this report presents information on the data sources used and calculation decisions made to create transparency around the basis of the reported obligations.
The final calculation and obligations for each municipality are presented in an Appendix at the end of this report. Detailed calculations and formulas can be found in the companion multi-tab Excel workbook calculation model, which also outlines all the source datasets used in the calculation and provides weblinks to their locations online.
In September, nine municipalities filed a lawsuit alleging a recently-enacted law designed to create more affordable housing is an “overreach” by the state. The bipartisan coalition — called “Local Leaders for Responsible Planning” — is led by Montvale Mayor Mike Ghassali.
