The Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) has taken action to implement recent changes to the Fair Housing Act, including issuing a directive establishing procedures for the Affordable Housing Alternate Dispute Resolution Program’s operation and creation of an Affordable Housing webpage on the judiciary website, which will include case-related filings.
Directive #14-24 provides information on how municipalities and other parties must file with the program, whether that be review or challenges to municipal calculation of affordable housing obligations or challenges to plans.
You are encouraged to review the Directive with your municipal attorney and other professionals for more information.
Questions regarding the Program or Directive# 14-24 should be directed to the AOC's Civil Practice Division at CivilWebSites.Mailbox@njcourts.gov or 609-815-2900, ext. 54900.
