Petition for Common-Sense Affordable Housing Reform

The purpose of this petition is to bring common-sense reforms to the current costly, inefficient and inconsistent New Jersey court mandated affordable housing process currently being imposed on New Jersey municipalities.

This is to be accomplished through State legislation to institute a State legislative committee to evaluate and determine the need for affordable housing at the State and Regional levels and require among other factors an analysis of a municipality's population, infrastructure, school class sizes and school services, before assigning affordable housing numbers. 

We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who urge the State Legislature to pass four (4) bills, S2997/A-4471, A-1649, S-2386/A-1648, S-2572/A-1644, supported by the non-partisan Scotch Plains Affordable Housing Advisory Committee to reform the current broken, court driven affordable housing overdevelopment process.
