MUST READ: Today's New York Times features a deep dive on New Jersey's Mount Laurel Doctrine, which requires each municipality to provide its fair share of affordable housing. Many U.S. states could benefit from a framework like New Jersey's. With the U.S. in the worst housing affordability crisis of our lifetimes, this moment demands that we think big. Learn more:

关于我们
Fair Share Housing Center (FSHC), founded in 1975, is the only public interest organization entirely devoted to defending the housing rights of New Jersey’s poor through enforcement of the Mount Laurel Doctrine, the landmark decision that prohibits economic discrimination through exclusionary zoning and requires all towns to provide their “fair share” of their region’s need for affordable housing. The mission of FSHC is to end discriminatory or exclusionary housing patterns which have deprived the poor, particularly those presently living in inner cities, of the opportunity to reside in an environment which offers safe, decent, and sanitary housing near employment and educational opportunities. FSHC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

We are all on the same page when it comes to advocating for affordable housing. What many don't realize is the positive impact it has on the community as a whole. Thank you Fair Share Housing Center for always standing up for what is right and for leading the charge for many vulnerable NJ residents.

Many more towns are participating in NJ's affordable housing process than at any time in the Mount Laurel Doctrine's 50-year history. “This is a testament to the success of the new law — historically, disputes over fair share obligations have taken years of litigation. We’re glad to see money being spent on building affordable homes instead of going to court,” said Josh Bauers. Learn more in today's press release:
