The Frelinghuysen Township Committee is expected to formally accept its affordable housing obligation numbers at a special meeting Thursday afternoon.
A resolution is scheduled to be voted on at the 3 p.m. meeting that indicates the township accepts a present need obligation on zero units, and a total of 39 units for the 2025-2035 fourth-round obligation under the 2024 amendment to the Fair Housing Act.
The figure of 39 has been whittled down from an original 229 proposed by the Department of Community Affairs. Additional calculations brought that number down to 156 units. The 39-unit number assumes that a formula proposed by the New Jersey Institute of Local Government Attorneys, an independent professional organization, is adopted by the state legislature.
The meeting is set for 3 p.m. Thursday at the Municipal Building in Johnsonburg.
