Housing Element and Fair Share Plan

The Borough of Allendale is seeking to adopt its Housing Element and Fair Share Plan (HE&FSP) for Round Four. This plan details how the Borough will address its affordable housing obligations as mandated by recent amendments to the New Jersey Fair Housing Act. The document outlines the Borough's present need (rehabilitation obligation) and prospective need (new construction obligation) for affordable housing. It also details the mechanisms the Borough will employ to meet these obligations, including specific programs, zoning ordinances, and potential development sites. The plan has undergone public hearings and is now presented for adoption by the Planning Board and endorsement by the Borough Council. The HE&FSP is a critical step in the Borough's ongoing commitment to providing affordable housing opportunities within the community.
