He said existing structures that were converted into affordable units or extensions of affordable housing deeds are much harder to track. But then-Gov. Chris Christie blocked COAH from doing its job by suspending agency operations and failing to convene meetings — eventually enforcement of affordable housing requirements stopped, the report said. In 2015, Fair Share Housing went to court and the Supreme Court relegated oversight of the Mount Laurel obligations to 15 district court judges.
“The vast majority of both the affordable development and just the overall increase in multifamily housing stock is coming from towns’ fair housing obligations,” Gordon said. The analysis looked at building permits from the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs for construction and development. Projects that don’t need permits or have not yet received them were not counted.
