What is affordable housing?
Affordable housing, unlike market rate housing, has legally mandated affordability controls limiting the rent or sales price of a unit for at least 30 years. Under New Jersey's Fair Housing Act, as amended in 2024, housing is considered "affordable" when a household pays no more than 30% of their gross income on housing costs.
Affordable housing serves households across a range of income levels, based on the Area Median Income (AMI) for the region:
-
Very low-income households earning up to 30% of AMI
-
Low-income households earning up to 50% of AMI
-
Moderate-income households earning up to 80% of AMI
