affordable housing

After Governor Chris Christie's administration failed to established new guidelines for affordable housing, the New Jersey Supreme Court put judges in charge instead, NJ.com's Brent Johnson reports. Under the court's order, courts will decided on a case-by-case basis how many homes in a town should be available to low-income and moderate-income residents. Over 30 years ago, the state Supreme Court ruled that New Jersey municipalities must provide a fair share of affordable homes to low-income residents.
